Craft is written in PHP on the YII framework using the TWIG templating language. The great thing about Craft CMS is that you don't even need a plugin to achieve most things you'd like to do that you may otherwise need a plugin for on other platforms. Just write the proper code in twig. Of course you can also use plugins with Craft or even write your own very simply.
