Hack is awesome, but we decided to go with PHP 7 and this choice was primarily made because of lack of tooling on the Hack side. Things like New Relic are not available and these type of things do matter a lot when it comes down to choosing the programming language.
I must say that PHP 7 is a great language nowadays. Most of the modern concepts are baked into a language or are about to be developed.
At some point, I wish Hack and PHP merge into a single language in the future, somewhat similar to what happened to Node and iojs. I'm not sure if Hack is going to be around in 5 years, but I'm pretty confident about PHP.
I'd definitely love to see more articles about Hack and people's experience with using it in production.
