1. I love the visualization these guys came up with for this. You can read more about how they achieved this using Sass (syntactically awesome stylesheets). I’ve been using Sass for a while now in my Rails projects, and while I love some of the benefits, I’m not totally convinced. I do find myself straying back to plain old CSS syntax from time to time, and I haven’t put my finger on why I’m doing this. Sass has a big brother called Haml, which I’ve used also, but I like it less. It’s probably the fact that Sass is intrinsically tied to Haml, that unconsciously grates on me. I do applaud the efforts of Hashrocket on these DSLs though.
