A complete perversion of priorities. CSS generator languages change and go in and out of fashion all the time but CSS itself will be around for a very long time. They should make the best decision for the future of CSS. Generator languages are inevitably going to need to change to take advantage of any new feature anyway.
- kijin 12y agoI agree. The people who develop web standards nowadays seem to have a curious aversion to existing implementations. First they rejected WebSQL because it was based on SQLite. And now they can't use the dollar sign because it's used in Sass? Is this just a bad case of NIH syndrome, or is there something more?
