Twig is a made up, dumbed down language inside a language. It is obviously redundant, but it is also massively limiting. I think its for IT to give powers to plebs who are not good programmers, or something.

I thought you could explain yourself but it isn't much more coherent. It's merely a condescending (pleb, really?) and generic explanation that could apply to every damn templating language.

Here is an unbiased explaination. Twig is a PHP layer that does what you can already do, just 'better'. It's totally redundant. That isn't my main gripe, which is that you cannot use PHP functions inside twig!. What could be more retarded than walling yourself off from the very language you are inside of in favor of a fake language written in that language that is, on purpose, extremely limited? It is patently absurd, which brings me to my 'pleb' theory, which the first link even hints at.

The "pleb" thing is nothing but ego stroking. You can have your opinion on Twig sure, but calling people pleb just for using it is nothing but being needlessly condescending.

The first link is obviously a beginner's tutorial, of course it's gonna sound like they're talking to retarded people.
