Support the Sass indented syntax (.sass)

[kennethormandy]

Harp now supports SCSS, but not the original Sass indented syntax. This is because it is not supported in libsass yet. There are limited resources there and it doesn’t seem to be a high priority issue, so I’ve been exploring other options.

The original SCSS issue contained +1s for the indented syntax from @danawoodman, @aexmachina, @dw2, @cspiegl, and me.

I'd recommend to anyone interested in the original indentation-sensitive Sass syntax to look into using Stylus. The syntax is very similar, and their Mixins are a bit easier to write/understand IMO.

Great point @dw2. If you’re starting a new project, but want to write whitespace significant CSS, you should definitely try out Stylus and Harp. We should also be upgrading Stylus to the latest version soon, which includes the equivalent of Sass’ @contents feature.

+1 for indented syntax. Looks so good with coffeescript and jade (I know I should be using stylus or less, but I can't give up compass yet).

Hi Kenneth! Just checking if there's has been any movement on .sass indented syntax :)

@og2t Hey, funny you should ask. I was actually working on something for it yesterday. The biggest problem is with imports—but it’ll get there!

Another possibility is that someone will help contribute to the language plugin system (#209), and then you could choose to use the Ruby version of Sass if you wanted.
