So, i research and looked at the new list of programming languages. I found out this Facebook's new programming language named as Hack. It says that it uses HHVM (i dont understand what that is). It also says that it is a new version of PHP.
I want to try to lea the code but they dont give samples such as "Hello world" because all i see in hack codes are functions, etc. I mean i want to do basic. Also, it says it can be a java or a php, it depends on how the programmer codes. How does to embed hack codes into html then? just like in php?
This is a sample text
Also, there is no closing tags in hack so how will it identify what that certain code is? And why cant i download a software that allows me to code it? It says i need to download the HHVM but it is not supported on windows because it is only supported on linux operating systems. So, if it is supported only on linux operating system, how does the code executed in windows operating systems? Why does Facebook site work well when i opened it on a windows operating systems? And they said that Facebook changed the programming language because PHP is well known now and its easy to hack(literal) Facebook if the language is used is already known to the public while hack(programming language) is not yet well known and its codes are not yet in public so its difficult to hack(literal) Facebook now. Is it true?
Sorry if there are too many questions, i just really want to lea. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.
BY THE WAY, I CANT INCLUDE HACK IN THE TAGS BECAUSE IT REQUIRES 1500 points.
