Question

I might remake Base theme in Dynamic Style Language. By changing some constants, I want to freely change theme color scheme.

For example:

@base_color: #00BCD4;
@accent_color: #F06292;

Example of DSL:

1. LESS
2. SASS
3. Stylus
4. ?

Compiler information:

1. PHP LESS compiler (Apache License)
2. PHP SASS WATCHER (MIT)
3. scssphp (GPL3 / MIT)

Answer 1

This is the great debate of LESS vs SASS

I prefer SASS because it is simple and easier for me.

If people would like to modify the css , SASS seems to be earsier to deal with compared to LESS

Also,  there rumors that one can import less files into sass. Never tried it though.

I use LESS well. But, the market seems to be dominated by SASS. SASS might be good. I will check it. Thanks.
