The Future of Sass
summary
Sass 3.2 adds concrete features: placeholder selectors using % to avoid unused output, mixins that accept content via @content mixins, and fully nestable @media rules that join up the tree; load paths make shared snippets importable. A new C implementation libsass C implementation exposes a tiny static library (~600k), a Ruby wrapper and adapters for other languages, and yields massive compile speedups in tests (up to 10,000% faster in compute-bound cases) while still completing some features like selector inheritance and color math.
