Sass (style sheet language)

Scripting Language

Sass, short for syntactically awesome stylesheets, is a style sheet language initially designed by Hampton Catlin and developed by Natalie Weizenbaum. After its first versions, Weizenbaum and Chris Eppstein continued to extend Sass with SassScript, a simple scripting language used inside Sass files. Sass is a scripting language that is interpreted or compiled into Cascading Style Sheets, so authors write in Sass and ship ordinary CSS to browsers. The Programming Language Database dates Sass to 2006, credits Hampton Lintorn-Catlin as its creator, and lists CSS, Less, Stylus, HAML and Ruby among related languages and tools. It reports thousands of public repositories using it.
