Facebook Introduces ‘Hack’, the Programming Language of the Future

Facebook Introduces ‘Hack’, the Programming Language of the Future



          Hack is a programming language that Facebook developed to combine elements of static-type programming languages such as C with dynamic-type languages like PHP. When you code in a static programming language it will let you know when you have an error before the program runs, but in the more modern, dynamic type language you code until the program crashes. Facebook is a PHP house, but Bryan O’Sullivan, manager of the Hack team, said that with many developers working on a variety of projects, the benefits of being able to catch errors before running the program began to make sense. It let developers code faster, which may be just as important as writing code that runs faster when you ship as much code as Facebook.
