# Jen Lampton and Twig in Core

#  Jen Lampton and Twig in Core 

  

*Podcast episode player*

Join [Addi](https://www.lullabot.com/who-we-are/addison-berry) chats while she chats with[ Jen Lampton](http://drupal.org/user/85586) about her Drupal history, her current work in Drupal 8, and big, scary animals. Jen is leading up the charge to get a new theme system into Drupal core, based on the [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) template engine, so we talk quite a bit about what that means, how it would change Drupal, and how everyone can help make it happen.
