I believe the author is missing out on one other feature of Sass: browser-prefix values are generated automatically, so no more (-webkit-, -ms-, etc.). This would make his Sass gradient code more succinct.
No language hate - but are there similar projects that don't require a ruby installation?
I'm currently playing with a very, very small environment. I might want to check out a (powerful) css preprocessor project, but it feels wasteful to add a dependency on an otherwise unnecessary (for my work/projects) language. Alternatives? Suggestions?
They are both awesome and compare quite well :D I think its mostly a question of the syntax you prefer (and possibly the way you'd like to manage the dependency, with ruby gems, npm, or manually).
IMHO Stylus is an overall win over SASS. The ability to write transparent mixins for my team (made by people not wanting to know how to implement `display:inline-block` on IE) is so great I can't be happier.
I've been able to completely replace SASS on Liferay [1] themes development and raised my team's productivity a lot.
