CSS preprocessing won
Saturday, October 12, 13
5 years ago the battle wasn’t over Less or Sass. It was over whether this was even necessary.I approached Kyle at github early on and he didn’t like Sass and thought it wasn’t useful.
How did this happen?

Real Talk
Saturday, October 12, 13
We need to talk about burnout.For several years, Sass consumed Mine and Nathan’s life.After 3.2 we got burned out. Nathan took a break and I tried to keep the lights on, then I burned out.Startup Architect + Family + Two open source Projects = Who is this 7 year old in my house?I’ve felt very guilty about the state of things, especially in compass.
What’s new in Sass 3.3?
Sourcemaps
Maps
& in SassScript
@at-root
String Functions
Meta Functions
Variable Keyword Arguments
Watcher Rewrite
if() works!
