This is pretty exciting for me. At least, it would be (it seems like a drop in replacement, as the backwards compat breaking changes are really rarely used in production IME) -- except I've moved to <i>`nette/tester'</i> [0][1]. It's much much lighter (in features as well as run-time) but the trade-off is a seriously nice API, that includes even a nice DOM tester for integration work.<p>The HHVM support is most exciting for myself. I've moved production websites and personal projects all over to nginx + HHVM, and I've not run into any issues since the end of last year.<p>Now, all I want is Facebook's "Hack" language to be formally documented. My personal tests show that the optional gradual H-M typing + HHVM's speed + PHP's benefits === Awesome. PHP has come a long way in the past few years.<p>[0] <a href="http://tester.nette.org/" rel="nofollow">http://tester.nette.org/</a>

My litmus test about a package is can I reduce it to one line of code, for 80% of the benefits. If yes, it's useless.<p>assert($condition);<p>It's useless.
