While pondering what alternatives there might be to Less I came across a mention of Stylus, the newest kid on the block in the smarter-CSS department. From a quick glance at the docs it fixes all of the shortcomings of Less (and Sass/Scss), and generally looks fairly impressive. Check it out here: http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/ Any chance WW might support this? |

Thanks for the pointer. That looks pretty interesting, and it sounds like something we should plan to add. However, from initial investigation the integration work is more than we can resource right now (techie details: the compiler depends on bits of Node.js that we haven't yet implemented, and which appear non-trivial; and while our existing highlighting and intellisense could be extended to support the CSS-style syntax, we'd need to write a whole new parser to do this for the indent syntax). So we can't offer Stylus support immediately, but we'd be keen to hear from other users who are interested in it so we can prioritise adding it! |

Thanks, that sounds semi-promising ;-) I doubt very many have heard of it yet (outside of the Ruby or Node.js communities where it originates), but if something like WW introduced support for it, I'm sure a lot of people would consider it over the current offerings. Or at least they will once they realize what the limitations of the existing options are :) |
