SCSS

• Sass’ SCSS syntax will be added as a CSS superset.
• Should have the extension .scss.
• Using .css.scss ext will be a way to compress a vanilla .css file. .css.less also works for this purpose.

Goals

Sass is implemented in C and therefore a compilers is currently needed to install the node-sass library. Harp will go to whatever lengths reasonable to avoid this dependency by distributing the binaries for the most popular platforms. The compile step will only be done if needed to run on host platform but the majority of use cases should not require this step. In other words, npm install harp -g should just work on a fresh install of OSX and Windows.
