DrupalCon Austin 2014: TWIG IS DEAD. LONG LIVE WEB COMPONENTS!

This talk features John Albin discussing the future of templating in web development, particularly in relation to Drupal and the emerging Web Components specification from the W3C. He presents Web Components as a game changer, allowing developers to define custom HTML templates and elements with encapsulated styling and behavior through the Shadow DOM. The speaker emphasizes the need to start adapting current codebases, including Twig, to facilitate this transition and suggests that implementing component-like structures in Drupal 8 and 9 can help integrate these new concepts. The session concludes with a demonstration of Web Components and a discussion of actionable steps for developers to prepare for this evolution.
