Meta Joins Kotlin Foundation (engineering.fb.com)
ksec 5 hours ago [-]
I am not sure if it has something to do with age. But I found both Kotlin and Swift share pretty much the same thing. Over Complexity. Objective C and Java works.

I am also wondering if Meta still uses PHP or Hack.

Meta’s WWW codebase is its oldest, and still written in Hacklang. Lots of internal tooling is also written in Hack.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more committed lines of Hacklang than any other language (although, a good chunk of that is codegen, vs other core languages where codegen is part of the build process).
