HHVM

HHVM is an open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in Hack and PHP.
Pricing:
- Open Source
If you ever need to work with PHP, use PHP/Hack developed by Facebook: https://hacklang.org/ It's a compiled language built partially in Rust, being rewritten entirely in Rust, JIT compiled using HHVM: https://hhvm.com/ I don't believe it's compatible with existing PHP codebases, but you could probably convert one over in a straightforward way, catching safety issues while you did it. Hack a modern and highly productive language that's in many ways as nearly sophisticated as Rust. (How many other languages have both opaque and transparent type aliases, for example? https://docs.hhvm.com/hack/types/type-aliases ).
