What Hacker News says

Don't take this the wrong way but this is still PHP and I say this as someone that's been writing in PHP since 2001, although I've largely shifted away. It didn't take me long to find some really crazy stuff like these nested try-catch blocks in: https://github.com/facebook/phabricator/blob/master/webroot/... Also this comment is pretty telling: // If execution throws an exception and then trying to render that exception // throws another exception, we want to show the original exception, as it is // likely the root cause of the rendering exception. I'm not saying this is a bad project, it looks excellent and the code is pretty good but you can't escape having to do some nutty things in PHP.
