Etsy 'experimented' with HHVM [0] and then eventually switched to PHP7 as their primary runtime. The blog posts about this are a little scattered, but Rasmus spoke about it [1] and Etsy started the phan project [2]. For what it's worth, my opinion is that PHP is an actual FLOSS software project with years of history and core contributions from Zend who make their living with PHP. HHVM is a well funded internal project from Facebook that has experimented with FLOSS but ultimately is controlled by the internal needs of Facebook. For me the choice here is obviously to back the community driven FLOSS project and help them continue to thrive.
