The problem of applying multiple classes to an element arises when the definition of one class expects another css class to be applied to all the same elements because there is an implicit inheritance relationship between them. Keeping inhe

companies invest in their business units and let them run at an operating loss for long term viability all the time. I call bullshit. The reddit guys need to do a better job selling their plans to their bosses.

Not so. With sass and compass you can make a mixin to do this for you and the maintenance burden is significantly reduced. See this blog post for more info: http://blog.derekperez.com/post/755676493/smarter-sprites-in...

Just about everything I've learned since graduating college is summed up in this web page (which I did not write -- but found recently). Enjoy! http://samizdat.mines.edu/howto/HowToBeAProgrammer.html

Sass provides inheritance to accomplish this same result but without spreading your selectors all over the place. .uno { @extend .dos; text-align: center; } .dos { color: green; font-size: 18px; }

Downvoted; really? What part of this reply was uninformative or offensive or off topic? FWIW, I'm one of the developers of Sass: http://nex-3.com/posts/78-chris-eppstein-joins-sass-team

Sass users will enjoy the following features: * No more = needed to use SassScript * $ instead of ! for variables * Support for CSS identifiers. E.g. solid instead of "solid" * Dashes can be used in place of underscores in variabl

You should look into xrefresh. It's a really great way to edit in sass and then see the changes in your browser right away.

Just because they're officially supported, doesn't mean they aren't there to work around the syntax's obvious limitations. I've been tracking Haml's development for a very long time I the history of many of these features is a result of use

Tool support is a good reason to not use haml. I expect tool support will be there some day, but it's not really there yet. RubyMine has very nice haml support tho.

You can use the alligator operators to trim surrounding and internal whitespace. E.g. .foo> This has no whitespace outside the foo div. .foo< This has no whitespace just inside the foo div. .foo>< This has no w

I disagree. I should be held to the same standards as everyone else.

That's true, but it's also a play on words. Haml (the syntax) sucks for content. This is a fact. Haml (the project) provides ample facilities for working around the syntactic limitations.

This is true, but it's a hassle. The one time I needed to deploy and github was down, I had to read a link on their website and set things up. It was a real drag and delayed my launch by at least 15 min!!!

You're replying to the guy who writes Sass. He's right. It's not actually turing complete, but it could be made so with a relatively minor change. And I'm the guy who invented most of the programming facilities of Sass and I'll tell you, th

The design and bug-free nature of a website is your job, just like it is in CSS. Sass can help you accomplish a more bug free design by giving you better tools for managing, organizing, and reusing your styles.

Trivial, from a technology perspective. Sass is not breaking any technical ground, that is true. But Sass challenges the way stylesheet authors approach building and maintaining their code. And so from a work-flow perspective, Sass is incre

That's incorrect. Your knowledge is more than 1 year old. SassScript is Sass's built in scripting language and it is turing complete. Here's a stylesheet that calculates and displays the mandlebröt set using background colors: http://gist.

That's probably true. But one thing that was always innate in me: the ability to sit in front of a computer for 12 hours without going insane ;-) I read a lot of other people's code. I think that's important to developing taste -- at least
