True, Hack's parser is ocaml based and unrecognizable to the majority of thi=
s list.  But HHVM's parser (which implements the runtime side of Hack), is a=
 flex/bison parser, not just similar to, but actually directly descended fro=
m PHP 5.2's parser.  Sure things have diverged since then, but the overall r=
ule structure is nearly identical in spirit.  Borrowing concepts should be t=
rivial.
