The original motivation of HipHop was to save resources on Facebook servers, given the large PHP codebase of facebook.com. As development of HipHop progressed, it was realised that HipHop could substantially increase the speed of PHP applications in general. Increases in web page generation throughput by factors of up to 6 have been observed over Zend PHP.[2][3][4][5][6] A stated goal of HipHop is to provide a high level of compatibility for Zend PHP, where most Zend‒based PHP programs run unmodified on HipHop.[4] HipHop was originally open‒sourced in early 2010.[7] The current version of HipHop, known as HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) was open‒sourced in late 2011.[8] HipHop is currently around 2.7 million lines[Note 1] of mostly C++, C and PHP source code and is distributed as open source and free software on GitHub (under the terms of version 3.01 of the PHP License).
