HHVM Beats Stable Version of PHP 7.0 In Recent Benchmark (kinsta.com)

campuscodi writes: PHP7 and HHVM have been exchanging punches for a while via benchmarks. While the PHP supporters were always saying, just wait until the stable version comes out, well... the stable version is out, and a recent benchmark reveals that "HHVM beats PHP7.0 hands down." Compared on: WordPress, Magento, Drupal8, Laravel, PyroCMS, and October CMS. You can still be a "PHP supporter" and favor HHVM, which "serves as an execution engine for the PHP and Hack programming languages."

Probably because changing which compiler version you use, etc. and changing it requires s few hours to a couple days at most, while re-writing an entire application in different language will take much, much longer.
