Hack vs Octave: What are the differences?

Hack: A programming language for HHVM that interoperates seamlessly with PHP. Hack provides instantaneous type checking via a local server that watches the filesystem. It typically runs in less than 200 milliseconds, making it easy to integrate into your development workflow without introducing a noticeable delay; Octave: A programming language for scientific computing. It is software featuring a high-level programming language, primarily intended for numerical computations. Octave helps in solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB.

Hack and Octave belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.

Octave is an open source tool with 90 GitHub stars and 32 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Octave's open source repository on GitHub.
