Glad it was helpful. I’ve never used Timber before, but as far as Blade goes, I’ve found it to be a pretty easy transition (other than a couple woocommerce issues I was having at first).
I’m sure it’s much more powerful than what I’ve been using it for, but so far I’ve only done some basic PHP with it. The important part is just knowing how to change the syntax. Which is really starting to grow on me.
As far as Timber goes, the things I’ve found with the Roots community is that it’s still small enough that if you want something done, a lot of the time you have to do it yourself– that is assuming you don’t want to throw hundreds or thousands at the problem.
