2.0 MyBB2 _ based on Laravel or YII ??

[andrewjs18]

Hi,

Yes Twig has been firmly settled on. Other options were evaluated (including the Blade engine provided with Laravel), but we chose Twig for the following reasons:

• Security - Twig will only allow pre-defined functions and helpers. Tools like Blade allow the execution of PHP functions, using a headache for themes on the mods site.
  
• Speed - Twig caches compiled templates, meaning there is very little performance hit.
  
• Readability - Twig is widely used in many other projects and is very easy to read and understand.
  
• Flexibility - Twig is very flexible, and additional helper functions and filters can easily be defined. For instance, we have a function called "render_profile_link", which will (as the name implies) render a fully formatted link to a user's profile.
  

I think a detailed explanation as to what software mybb 2.0 will run on and why might be in order.  I don't really see much of an explanation about any of this in either of the 2 dev blog posts.

you should put the horse before before the cart, not the cart before the horse.
