BigPipe is a fundamental redesign of the dynamic web page serving system. The general idea is to decompose web pages into small chunks called pagelets, and pipeline them through several execution stages inside web servers and browsers. This is similar to the pipelining performed by most modern microprocessors: multiple instructions are pipelined through different execution units of the processor to achieve the best performance.

We are maintaining packagist.drupal-composer.org that mirrors all drupal.org projects, ready to use with composer.

The conceptual difference between Drupal, as embodied in Drupal 8, and other major PHP projects is vastly smaller than ever before, providing PHP coders two key advantages: it makes it easier for non-Drupal developers to learn Drupal and it makes it easier for Drupal developers to learn non-Drupal systems.

Just-in-time provisioning of Drupal user accounts based on SAML attributes (configurable). Automatic role assignment based on SAML attributes (configurable). Dual mode - support for traditional Drupal accounts and SAML-authenticated accounts at the same time (configurable).

Traits: Just gimme the codez Enter traits. Traits don't imply a relationship. They're purely code reuse. At runtime, traits no longer exist. They say nothing about an object that uses them, how they behave, what you can do with them, or anything else. They are purely code reuse. In that sense, they are completely orthogonal to interfaces; whereas an interface is purely interface reuse, a trait is purely code reuse.
