In Drupal 8 Twig replaced PHPTemplate as the default template engine. Twig along with SASS which is a meta-language on top of CSS shares the same motivation as the Symfony initiative: to adopt a modern, powerful, OOP-based engine. SASS not only provides a simpler, more elegant syntax for CSS but also implements various features that are useful for creating manageable stylesheets.
