Should I learn SASS right now?
I have a solid understanding of front-end languages, and I'm eager to take my skills to the next level. Recently, I started using Tailwind for a project, and I found it incredibly useful. However, I'm wondering if I should learn SASS before fully committing to Tailwind. While I know SASS has a short learning curve, after experiencing Tailwind, I find the process of naming classes in CSS and SASS a bit tedious and less efficient.

sass? no
scss? yes
sass is the name of the project, but it is also the name of the god-awful python-esque monstruosity syntax
Both are sass bruh
scss is the css syntax, which is part of the sass project
It's sass 🫠
yes, but scss is the specific syntax
the css syntax, but with sass' powers
But to the OP point Tailwind is not something like sass or any other preprocessor.
tailwind is just 100% utility classes that are close to inline css
I personally would learn sass and ditch tailwind all together
🥲
same
Build your own utilities
unless you use react, then it is understandable :/
@scope to save the day though
isn't the support for it kinda ... eh?
basically, everything since last october supports it, except firefox
I actully meant scss. It's basically the same just without curly braces and somicolons
there are some weird differences that make sass super ... unintuitive to use
but yes, go for it
learn scss
but also learn just css
thanks for the advice. I spent a lot of time learning css and I built some projects with it. so I am pretty confident the I want to take the next step
then go for it, scss is just css, but spicy
There is not much to learn in scss so I think if I need it in a project I can use easily
oh, you're wrong
there's a lot to learn
actual variables, functions, mixins, better nested selectors, combined selectors and much more
I think I was mistaken. I thought it is enough to have the main concepts and then you can use them easily. thanks for the advice.
i mean, you can just write css in scss
because scss is just css
yeah I know
but yeah, learn scss, you won't regret
thanks
you're welcome
Just learn Less and get rid of that SCSS/SASS confuse 🙃
which "confuse"?
scss is a superset of css, like how typescript is a superset of javascript
Less and stylus are options too for sure.
Nothing sexier than pug/stylus imo 🥲
personally, i hate the scss syntax for maps
but, everything else is really cool
stylus looked cool as well, but i've never tried it
Is anyone experience with every of the mentioned ? Just wonder if there is some major difference beside different syntax that Stylus and Sass is offer compared to Less and SCSS.
scss/sass comes already pre-configured in many platforms
Every platform I used had Less support
pre-configured?
like, download the platform and use less?
without changing anything?
usually just need to
yarn add less and ready to gonot pre-configured then, but almost there
If you mean pre-configured styles/variables, then no
i mean this
