Hmm, IIRC using Hack means you can't use xdebug with Zend PHP ... is
debugging with HHVM in PhpStorm possible yet/soon? (I just figured out the
debugger setup with Zend PHP and MediaWiki-Vagrant, and it's wonderful to
have a debugger in PHP :D )

It *seems* like it
wouldn't
be
a huge diversion, but I'm quite unfamiliar
with what's in place now.
Have
we dabbled in Hack since the HHVM switch?
I'm not aware of any WMF/MediaWiki work being done in Hack yet.
Putting Hack into MediaWiki's core would be controversial but a stand
alone service/app could easily choose to use it I think.
Yeah, I'd -2 anything that required Hack in core.
However if an extension wants to experiment they probably
could. I was already thinking of trying some Hack in something
WMF-specific like a Wikimedia* extension.
