twig

We (the Drupal 8 Twig people) are doing a survey about the theme system in Drupal - please fill it out, the data is important for future development of the theme system:
Theme Survey 2014

cheers!

Per Dries's post about Drupal 8 release risk, this post outlines a plan jointly developed by the Drupal core maintainers (Dries, webchick, catch, and alexpott) for getting Twig into core safely. See that post for more background information.

What's up with Twig?

There are a lot of things wrong with the theme layer in Drupal.

First, and of highest importance to me (jenlampton) creating themes for Drupal is way too hard to learn. HTML is the universal language of the the web, and anyone working in web should know HTML. That means that the theme layer is where almost everyone will start when they begin to work with Drupal. If we make the entry point too complex and Drupal-specific, we'll be turning away potential adopters, and contributors to our project.
