If you’re building an app to run on other people’s servers, vanilla PHP is much more widely available :(

(Sad because I use Hack in my day job and PHP for my open source projects, and find Hack way more pleasant and productive)

Hacklang diverged from PHP proper a while ago, but I haven't validated what this actually means. I know interoperability wasn't guaranteed, but with Hack at your work are you able to use composer packages - i.e. Symfony components? The ecosystem around pure Hack packages or frameworks appears quite small/niche.
