What is the programming language?

Question

PHP

Good evening. Help me understand what is written in the code. In a general sense, I have an understanding, this code calls blocks with news from the nov_product.html file. News are called in the amount of 20 pieces, but there is no understanding where to indicate the number and what kind of language to figure it out, php?

{%assign var='after_registration' value="<a href='`$settings.patch`users/register/' title='`$locale.117`'>`$locale.76`</a>" %}
{%assign var='count' value=$blocks.m|@count %}
{%assign var='count' value=`$count-1`%}	
{%if $count < 0%}{%assign var='count' value=0%}{%/if%}
{%assign var='counter' value=0%}
{%php%}
$this->_tpl_vars['new_messages'] = array();
{%/php%}	
{%foreach from=$messages item='message' name='i'%}	 
{%if $message.raised == 1%}	
{%php%}
$this->_tpl_vars['new_messages'][] = $this->_tpl_vars['message'];
{%/php%}
{%*include file='nov_product.html'*%}
{%/if%}
{%/foreach%}
{%php%}
shuffle($this->_tpl_vars['new_messages']);
{%/php%}
{%foreach from=$new_messages item='message' name='i'%}	 
{%include file='nov_product.html'%}
{%/foreach%}
{%foreach from=$messages item='message' name='i'%}
{%if $message.raised == 0%}	
{%include file='nov_product.html'%}
{%/if%}
{%/foreach%}

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

it's a template engine. very similar to smarty , but not it (or it, but with a perverted syntax).
Is this something ready or a complete self-writing?

Answer 2

This is the Twig templating code
