PHP results: Is Hack still popular with PHP people? I was stupid enough to write some scientific code in PHP once so know how slow it can be. But if your going to do try write performant code in PHP use the HHVM interpreter. It's much faster. Hack (https://hacklang.org/) uses that under the hood by default. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Meta: hacklang.org has the details there. It forked off of PHP ~5 years ago, and is no longer backwards compatible. I believe this is also what Slack uses. Source: 11 months ago
Facebook literally created Hack because PHP wasn't meeting their needs at the time. Source: about 1 year ago
Well, yeah, since they generally don't kill popular projects. Hell hack is still getting updates even though no one ever gave a shit about it. Meanwhile Flutter can be cancelled tomorrow because another division made Clutter and they have more "political" pull at google... Source: over 1 year ago
They actually create/use Hack. Haxe is something else. Source: over 1 year ago
Seems like in modern times, on modern systems, we can move beyond monospaced fonts for code. I have recommended this many times here, but I use a proportional coding font: Input Sans https://input.djr.com. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
Yes I ran into problem with distinguishing between ; and : as well on this monospace font. I'll say it was fun to try it and I used it for awhile but it isnt suitable for coding purposes. Im much more happy now with a highly customizable font like Input[0] where I can make it as wide or as narrow as I like it to be and also customize the various characters [0]: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Does your browser have a "Reader" mode? There are font systems that target code and aren't monospace. An example is Input: https://input.djr.com/ - https://input.djr.com/preview/ The niche seems to be people who like to code without monospace, or who present code without monospace, e.g. In slides or in blog posts. Or if you want typographical consistency between non-code and code, as I understand you are suggesting. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
I’ve used Ligaturizer [2] to update the font to include ligatures. I believe the ligatures are even taken from FiraCode itself. I wonder how it’s fitting it to the width of a character as it’s much narrower, but still monospaced. - [1] https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Hi! I’ve returned once more to recommend the Input family of typefaces. https://input.djr.com/ I’ve been code using Input Sans a (gasp!) proportional coding font for years now and I love it. Input also comes in a monospaced version FWIW. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
