SASS is backed by Ruby, so you can take advantage of all of Ruby's power, including reading from the filesystem.
For instance, combined with Compass, you can read image sizes and automatically pull in width and height for a class. Or you can more easily make sprite images via a mixin that knows the size of the image and how many rows/columns you have.
I've been using bootstrap-sass since it was targeting bootstrap 2.3. They've done a great job of keeping up with bootstrap development, so it's great to see them officially supported. It wouldn't shock me at all if Bootstrap eventually moved over to SASS officially in the future.
- WalterSear 13y agoActually, I moved away from Sass >because< of the Ruby tie in. Transpiling Sass to css using Ruby was using up most of my day. It's a dog! Fortunately, now there is node-sass and it's grunt wrapper, making for vastly faster transpiling process. https://github.com/andrew/node-sass https://github.com/andrew/node-sass
- steveklabnik 13y agoThere's been work to re-write sass in C (or C++), preliminary reports showed it being 4,000x faster, IIRC.

- lowboy 13y ago+1 for libsass. I started using Gulp instead of Grunt for a project, and gulp-sass uses libsass. My compilation times are now sometimes sub-millisecond (albeit with only 500 lines of scss spread across 4-5 files).
- radq 13y agoThis benchmark suggests it's more on the order of 10x? http://www.solitr.com/blog/2014/01/css-preprocessor-benchmark/ http://www.solitr.com/blog/2014/01/css-preprocessor-benchmar...
- steveklabnik 13y agoNeat! It was only partially ported when I last heard numbers, full support often slows things down quite a bit.
- glebm 13y agoAs of a few days ago it is complete enough to compile bootstrap-sass :) https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass/issues/231#issuecomment-33248428 https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass/issues/231#issuecomment-3...
