Comment (by rmccue):

 Worth mentioning that there's also [https://github.com/leafo/scssphp
 scssphp] by the same author as the previously mentioned lessphp. Jetpack
 actually bundles both of these for the Custom CSS feature.

 > Currently converting my patch to SCSS - I don't like it. Syntax sucks,
 and you can't overload mixins - meaning, you can't have multiple versions
 of a mixin that take a different number of arguments.

 Also true of PHP. I'm not sure you really need it to be honest.

 > As it stands right now, SASS by default compiles via Ruby gem - a
 lateral move from NodeJS.

 Anecdotally, I've found it much, much easier to install and use Sass (via
 Compass) on Windows.

 > No matter what the method of development, at the end, someone's going to
 have to push a button that compiles the code so they can run it in the
 browser.

 That's true, and I think both the tools are at parity there.

 I'll take a look at your SCSS version this afternoon and see if there's
 anything we can do better in that. There's a few things in there I can see
 that I'd improve, so I'll see if I can clean it up a little (unless
 someone else gets to it first).
