Announcing the Drupal 8 Compatibility API
Posted by cafuego on Monday 1 April 2013.For some time now I've thought that I don't like the direction Drupal 8 development is heading in. The code base is getting larger and larger, the code is getting slower and slower and the mix of plugins and annotations that replaces hooks makes the development experience far less consistent.
On top of that, the PSR-0 "standard" means humans have to now write code that is more convenient to parse for computers than for other humans.
