Generics, lambdas, type annotations. This looks awesome, seems like the next generation for PHP programming.

Can I embed it? Or extend it via compiled binaries written in C/C++?

I'm working on proper documentation for extensions as we speak, but for now you can find some very basic info at https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Extension-API .

As the author of pretty much THE book on writing PHP Extensions ( http://amazon.com/dp/067232704X ), I can say with a fair bit of authority that writing HHVM extensions is SO SO SO much easier.
