About

.NET is a free, cross-platform, open-source developer platform from Microsoft used to build web, desktop, mobile, cloud, and IoT applications across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

It includes a runtime with automatic memory management, a large standard library and APIs, support for various languages such as C#, F#, and Visual Basic, and a package ecosystem with over 400,000 NuGet packages, along with frameworks like ASP.NET Core for web applications and .NET MAUI for cross-platform interfaces.

HHVM is an open-source virtual machine designed to execute programs written in the Hack programming language, originally developed for Facebook and still used by Meta.

It uses a just-in-time compiler to translate bytecode into native machine code at runtime, includes a high-performance engine and a built-in web server, supports asynchronous execution, and is optimized for Hack's static typing features.
