What is it about php folks that think that everything has to be implemented in php?

At least someone gets it ;-)

You don't know about compass then. Go watch the screencast. CSS isn't complex, but building websites that work correctly in 8 web browsers most certainly is. Compass frameworks give you re-use without semantic fail.

I agree.

We deprecated some features in Sass 2.2 that will allow us to change the variable syntax in 2.4. Legacy users are a bitch ;-) The idea of allowing any top-level css class be used as a mixin is a really interesting one that we could consider

You're still confusing sass and compass. Like I said, your current feature set is ample for the 95% use case of normal web development. To that end, we are in complete agreement. I don't know how familiar you are with blueprint, but the les

Hampton Catlin invented Sass. Nathan Weizenbaum is the primary maintainer now, and I'm just a newbie, only around since Sass 2.0. Everyone seems to give designers an insultingly small credit for their ability to do development. But the conc

I know the distinction between Sass and Compass is blurred for many folks, much like ruby and rails. Compass is libraries and tools to provide project management and community features, sass is the syntax that makes compass possible. Compas

Well lessc is just a replacement for the sass compiler so far. It lacks the project management and ruby framework integration features that you get with compass and sass.

This looks promising and seems to address a lot of the objections I hear to compass and sass. I do really like the superset syntax approach where css is legal syntax in a less file. So I will be following along the development. There's stil

I think a microformat schema or schemas would be more beneficial for this kind of data.

I tried. If my screencast didn't convey that information, I failed. Did you watch it?

haml 2.2 has universal interpolation and when you put that together with say a markdown filter, writing your paragraphs of text in haml should be a breeze.

Good ideas keep getting re-invented. There's about 4 or 5 versions of this with slightly different syntax, etc. But Sass alone has scripting, mixins, and libraries. These are the language features that make compass possible. From the featur

When there's something better, I'll gladly use that. Until then, I think it's sad that you've chosen to focus on the "negatives" that are largely style instead of the positives that are the substance of the screencast. For what it's worth,

Thanks! It's open source, so, you know, you can put hard work into them too! :-P

I doubt you'll ever return to Sass, but I wanted you to know that we did take away that there's not really a good reason to force 1 style per line. We're going to add support for semi-colon delimited styles on the same line. No one has ever

Sass doesn't make you bloat your css, but it does make it easier if you rely heavily on mixins. That said, if you've got a website of any complexity then you're using gzip compression for your static assets, and the compressed file sizes ar
