It makes me sad that, as a Mac-based developer, installing & updating HHVM takes half an hour (via Homebrew). I imagine that has taken the wind out of many people's sails, when contemplating migrating/updating codebases to HHVM's (superior) syntax.

Sorry, I know this is a pain; I'm hoping to fix it by the end of the year (along with bringing back nightly debs, and supporting more recent versions of debian/ubuntu). For homebrew build times, there's https://github.com/hhvm/homebrew-hhvm/issues/5

In the short term, docker works rather nicely.
