--- The future of Drupal Theming ---
What if you don't need to decouple to have some fun?
What if you actually use the libraries API in Drupal?
What if you could make your CSS and JS over 90% more lean with just a slice of opinion?
What if you didn't have to struggle with your next Gulp setup?
What if the theming layer is actually in your way?
What if someone tells you about a cutting-edge native frontend
alternative?
Would you come?
Longer more boring context: This talk is around the potential of splitting up the theming layer of Drupal. I took a break from paid work for more than a year to evolve the theming layer of Drupal. The outcome of my work resulted in a future for Drupal where cutting edge frontend standards will become the norm (and stay the norm). Not only do I revolutionize the idea of what we consider the theming layer to be, I will share an open-source toolset and platform to grow Drupal’s Frontend community.
