What’s New in Drupal 8?
summary
Explains concrete changes: Drupal 8 is rewritten as object oriented PHP and integrates the Symfony framework and Twig templating (auto-escaping to cut XSS), ships views in core, a built-in REST server/client, and configuration export/import for deploys. Demo shows multilingual install, a WYSIWYG + quick-edit inline editor, mobile-responsive themes, ~39 core modules, and a beta stage with ~20 critical bugs left. Watch if these specific tools, numbers, and demos matter.
