How to render a Twig template and load a CSS file from a Controller in Drupal 8

The following code here was an exercise I was working on, my goal was to load a template and a CSS asset file from a Controller in Drupal 8.

As you can see here, in my first iteration I was over engineering the solution as I explain on the next points.

- Implement ContainerInjectionInterface Class in order to be able of injecting the Container.
- Inject the container using create method.
- Extract the Twig service from the service container using __construct method.
- Load the Twig template file manually & render passing the name argument manually.
- Build an array and use drupal_render() function at hello method return.

<?php 
namespace Drupal\acme\Controller;

use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;
use Drupal\Core\DependencyInjection\ContainerInjectionInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Template\TwigEnvironment;

class DefaultController extends ControllerBase implements ContainerInjectionInterface 
{
  /**
  * @var Drupal\Core\Template\TwigEnvironment
  */
  protected $twig;

  public function __construct(TwigEnvironment $twig)
  {
    $this->twig = $twig;
  }

  public static function create(ContainerInterface $container)
  {
    return new static(
      $container->get('twig')
    );
  }

  /**
   * hello
   * @param  string $name
   * @return string
   */
  public function hello($name) 
  {

    $template = $this->twig->loadTemplate(
      drupal_get_path('module', 'acme') . '/templates/hello.html.twig'
    );

    $markup = [
      '#markup' => $template->render([ 'name' => $name ]),
      '#attached' => [ 'css' => [
          drupal_get_path('module', 'acme') . '/assets/css/acme.css'
        ]
      ]
    ];

    return drupal_render($markup);
  }
}

That piece of code works but I was not happy neither proud of it, so I decided to ask what other developers think about it, you can see my question at Drupal Answers StackExchange

Based on one of the answers, recovering my Drupal 7 memories and spending a few minutes reading the documentation about hook_theme/8 I did the following code refactorization.

Add the acme_theme function to acme.module file

<?php 

  function acme_theme() {
    $theme['hello_page'] = [
      'variables' => ['name' => NULL],
      'template' => 'hello',
    ];

    return $theme;
  }

Remove several lines of code from DefaultController.php class with this result

<?php 

namespace Drupal\acme\Controller;

use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;

class DefaultController extends ControllerBase 
{

  /**
   * hello
   * @param  string $name
   * @return string
   */
  public function hello($name) 
  {
    return [
      '#theme' => 'hello_page',
      '#name' => $name,
      '#attached' => [ 
        'css' => [
          drupal_get_path('module', 'acme') . '/assets/css/acme.css'
        ]
      ]
    ];
  }
}
