Quick Guide To CSS Preprocessors

Stylus

The Stylus is built on Node.js. It differs from Sass and Less, which are more opinionated to the syntax; the stylus allows you to omit semicolons, colons, and braces if you want at any time. Another cool feature is that the stylus has a property lookup feature. You can do that easily if you set property X relative to property Y's value. The stylus can be more concise because of its flexibility, but it depends on your preferred syntax.

Sass

SASS stands for Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets. It has mainly two choices for syntax, i.e., Sass and SCSS. Currently, because of version 3.0, SCSS is the official syntax. SCSS is closer to regular CSS, making migrating easier. The significant difference between the two is using parentheses and semicolons. Sass is viable with all versions. It has a large group, has been around for over 15+ years, and has more features than the other CSS preprocessors—additionally, a few supportive structures around Sass, similar to Compass and Bourbon.
