The main sass implementation is in dart https://github.com/sass/dart-sass https://github.com/sass/dart-sass, which I think is dumb because it's a fair amount slower than the old libsass written in C.
The reason they spouted was due to "Low developer resources" due to the difficulty of C, so they swapped to a language pretty much only used by Googlers. Google now has control of sass, which then gives them greater influence (even greater than just having browser majority) over CSS Spec choices (see CSS Nesting spec).
- zem 4y agoI would argue that if someone was interested in working on sass there's a far lower entry barrier to learning enough dart to do so than getting good enough at C to work with the old libsass.
