Back when I was a web developer, I liked CSS pre-processor such as SASS/SCSS or LESS a lot. Popular framework at the times like Bootstrap or Foundation also had top-notch supports for CSS pre-propcessor.
I wonder where they went.
- hamlsandwich 5y agoBootstrap and Bulma are both based on SCSS still - it's as popular as it's ever been (though I still cling to my beloved classic SASS syntax, it's not very popular at all).
- BigJono 5y agoThey're just not really needed now that their core features are provided by other parts of the stack. Variables are stable in CSS itself now, modularisation is done as part of DOM management with React etc, and composition is either done in code with JS or provided by something like CSS modules 'composes' property. You can still use a preprocessor like SASS with that stuff, but it's just another layer of complexity for not a whole lot of value outside of familiarity.
- genezeta 5y agoLooks like they are still in use. At least, this is SCSS based [0] according to the docs. Also, in another comment someone mentioned their own Sakura CSS and it's also SCSS based. [0] https://picocss.com/docs/#customization https://picocss.com/docs/#customization
