In the constant quest to improve your services, Facebook announced last week the "Hack", its programming language.

According to the company, which has been working with language for a year, the intention is to unite the benefits of the already known C language, with the speed of development in PHP. According to the announcement, posted in Engineering Blog from Facebook, the motivation is to create a way to identify possible errors in the code, different from what happens in the C language, which points to the error before and in PHP, which points to the error after running the program.
The search for the middle term in the identification of errors generates a shorter development time, since in dynamic languages the development is fast, but the identification of errors is time consuming and, in traditional languages, the opposite happens.
The development package for the new language is already available and can be found on this site: http://hacklang.org/. In it you will find the installation guide and some tutorials to familiarize yourself with the new tool.
