r3wt Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Let's have a show of hands, who is using HHVM as a replacement to PHP? IMO, the zend engine is dead, HHVM is the new hotness. Oh, it blows Node out of the water in benchmarks too. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/287942-hiphop-vm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Not in production no, but Ive played with it quite a bit on the side. I definitely wouldn't say the zend engine is dead, it's getting a good ass kicking though which can only lead to good things IMO. All my vagrant boxes install it alongside zend.

r3wt Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I've heard alot of people say they wouldnt use it in production, but i don't see why personally. once you get redis setup to handle sessions(requires a hack because session_save_handler is broken) that's half the battle. there are some little bizarre quirks to hhvm, and some corners have been cut, but i feel very excited about the future of php. the competition should make both engines much better.

trq Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I've heard alot of people say they wouldnt use it in production, but i don't see why personally. For starters, there are still failing tests with my framework of choice (Symfony2). I know things are improving, but I'm not running failing code in production.
