Facebook stopped using PHP as their primary language years ago. They built their own in-house language, HACK (used by be compatible with PHP, but not any longer)

Not quite. HHVM was an entirely separate implementation that supported PHP, but then they also forked the language to create HACK, and then dropped PHP language compatibility. HHVM and HACK is not PHP compatible at this point in time, but there was a point in time when there was compatibility.
