Personally, I really like the whole coffeescript/sass/haml trio. (I really don't like SCSS).
It drastically reduces the amount of errors in your code, at the expense of a syntax that's a little different.
- nuclearsandwich 15y agoYeah, you've hit on what really appeals to me about those three and others like them. They shift focus to what's really important in each case. In HTML I want to focus on document structure, not closing my tags. In CSS I want to focus on style and visual consistency, not nesting. In Javascript I want to focus on application behavior, not semicolons.
- lucian1900 15y agoYou might also like LESS.
- rubergly 15y agoI'm guessing someone who prefers SASS over SCSS is going to also prefer SASS over LESS.
- mgutz 15y agoOne of the reasons we did not switch from HAML/SASS/SCSS to LESS/Jade/Stylus is the output. HAML and its cousins do the extra little things to help developers diagnose problems like adding comments with the original line # and file; pretty-printing, etc. All these options can be disabled for production of course.
- dualogy 15y agoLast time I looked into sass/scss/less, I decided Stylus is for me. Looked into that? Not just getting rid of semicolons and curlies, but even colons :) plus macros, functions, variables, calculations, all the "usual" stuff.
- fleitz 15y agoInteresting, I noticed npm install stylus, does this mean Node only? Or is there a ruby/rails version?
