xCSS: an OOCSS-inspired preprocessor?

[Stefano J. Attardi]

I just stumbled across this. I'm suprised it has not been posted to
this group before:

http://xcss.antpaw.org/

xCSS looks like a CSS preprocessor which implements the "extends"
feature that Nicole has been pushing for.

It also has some other neat features that are inspired by SASS, like
nested selectors, file includes and variables.

Is this news for the rest of you too?

I did see this yesterday. I really like the nested selectors and the
variables. I haven't had time to play around with it though.

xCSS is for PHP, and looks great, but haven't played with it yet...

I love LESS (see http://lesscss.org/docs.html ), which only works for
Ruby.

Funny thing: LESS does not have inheritance: it supports mixins! This
way you can have a kind of "multiple inheritance" - if you will...

Also, if you're a Rails fan, check out More, a Rails plugin (see
http://github.com/cloudhead/more ).
Check also styled_objects, a Rails plugin (based on LESS) that allows
to do much of what Nicole advocates for - http://github.com/pgte/styled_objects
