C55: more information?

Question

I saw a presentation in the form of PyCon09 presentations (slides: http://www.slideshare.net/kn0thing/ride-the-snake-reddit-keynote-pycon-09?c55 ) provided by the reddit guys and it mentions the CSS C55 compiler . They said that sources would be open soon. It looks great - does anyone have more information on how it works, why they created it (except that CSS is a pain), etc. ??

Answer 1

Just from the conversation, the main advantage over the simple creation of CSS from templates is that it allows nesting, which is conceptually much more pleasant to work with.

, - C55 (, ):

div.content
{
  color: $content_color ;

  .left
  {
    float: left;
  };
  .right
  {
    float: right;
  };
};
