HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) vs Notepad++: What are the differences?

Developers describe HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) as "An open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in Hack and PHP". HHVM uses a just-in-time (JIT) compilation approach to achieve superior performance while maintaining the flexibility that PHP developers are accustomed to. To date, HHVM (and its predecessor HPHPc before it) has realized over a 9x increase in web request throughput and over a 5x reduction in memory consumption for Facebook compared with the PHP 5.2 engine + APC. On the other hand, Notepad++ is detailed as "Free source code editor and Notepad replacement". Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.

HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) and Notepad++ are primarily classified as "Virtual Machine" and "Text Editor" tools respectively.

"Very fast" is the top reason why over 29 developers like HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine), while over 94 developers mention "Syntax for all languages that i use" as the leading cause for choosing Notepad++.

HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) is an open source tool with 16.1K GitHub stars and 2.85K GitHub forks. Here's a link to HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine)'s open source repository on GitHub.

According to the StackShare community, Notepad++ has a broader approval, being mentioned in 187 company stacks & 501 developers stacks; compared to HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine), which is listed in 32 company stacks and 19 developer stacks.

Decided

Since communication with Github is not necessary, the Atom is less convenient in working with text and code. Sublim's support and understanding of projects is best for us. Notepad for us is a completely outdated solution with an unacceptable interface. We use a good theme for Sublim ayu-dark

Review

I have used and like them both... here's my take on what to use in your case. 1. Use whatever software your instructor is using when learning a language. It makes it simpler to start. Then change to whatever you like. 2. Use an IDE (Integrated Development Enviroment). For Java I'd pick InteliJ (because I have found the Jetbrains IDEs great) or Visual Studio as a second pick (because it's free for individual coders). 3. Pick your text editor: the Atom vs Notepad++, vs others question Both Atom and Notepad++ offer many features and add-ons, making it a long-disputed competition. This is what drives to chose between one and the other, and I have been alternating: On Atom: The good: - Good looking coding environment - Good autocomplete - Project focused structure to your files The bad: - Higher system resources usage - Slower loading time (if you are opening and closing)

Notepad++ The good: - Very light system resources use - Fast and simple, with decent code higlighting - Loads very fast The bad: - Not as pretty as Atom - Autocomplete and syntax checking is not that good - File-focused editing

What are some alternatives to Notepad++, HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine)?

Sublime Text

Sublime Text is available for OS X, Windows and Linux. One license is all you need to use Sublime Text on every computer you own, no matter what operating system it uses. Sublime Text uses a custom UI toolkit, optimized for speed and beauty, while taking advantage of native functionality on each platform.

Atom

At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it.

Vim

Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the de-facto Unix editor 'Vi', with a more complete feature set. Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Vim is distributed free as charityware.

Visual Studio Code

Build and debug modern web and cloud applications. Code is free and available on your favorite platform - Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows.

Emacs

GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable text editor—and more. At its core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp programming language with extensions to support text editing.

Brackets

With focused visual tools and preprocessor support, it is a modern text editor that makes it easy to design in the browser.

Neovim

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to: simplify maintenance and encourage contributions, split the work between multiple developers, enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source, and improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture.

VSCodium

It is a community-driven, freely-licensed binary distribution of Microsoft’s editor VSCode.

TextMate

TextMate brings Apple's approach to operating systems into the world of text editors. By bridging UNIX underpinnings and GUI, TextMate cherry-picks the best of both worlds to the benefit of expert scripters and novice users alike.
