Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/ResourceLoader CSS Extensions/Don't re-invent the wheel/reply (3)

Trevor I agree. LESS and SASS/SCSS are already well understood by developers and battle tested.

I'm not familiar with the internals of the ResourceLoader but I'm having difficulty trying to understand why a custom parser is being suggested in place of SASS/LESS. In my opinion there should be two layers. SASS/LESS to assist developers and another to inject inject image paths etc, which could be an existing templating language such as mustache, erb, handlebars or a custom one if required.

I see the issues being discussed here as 2 problems and they should be solved separately.
