Hack Community Roundup #3

As always, I’m really excited to see what our community has been building and saying, and really exited to share what I’ve seen with everyone!

Github Projects

Miles Johnson has been working on Titon, “a fullstack Hack framework”. It looks to intend to take Hack’s full type system in mind, as well as follow the PHP-FIG PSR standards.
Kyle Ferguson has been working on his Senary framework, a “Hack framework for building scalable software”. He has also released the Vagrant “Harbor” environment he is using to work on it.
Michael Crumm recently built a starter for Vindinium written in Hack. (If you’re not familiar with Vindinium, it’s a rather neat AI programming challenge.)

The Kontextful site, written in Hack running on HHVM, is up and running. It’s based on the open source hack-mvc framework mentioned in a previous roundup.
Davey Shafik, whose blog posts I have mentioned in a previous roundup, is continuing his series with a post on typedefs, shapes, XHP, and short lambdas as well as a post on running the typechecker, editor integration, and conversion.
Tobias Nyholm built a 30-weekday course “Daily bits of Hack”, which provides a short introduction to various Hack topics via email every weekday for 30 days.
Along with the Senary framework above, Kyle Ferguson also gave a talk on the Hack language.
Alexander Mols similarly gave a talk on HHVM and Hack at the recent Dutch PHP conference.
For French language speakers, Benjamin Clay and Mathieu Darse gave a talk about HHVM and Hack at the recent PHP Tour Lyon 2014. (Slides)
