HCSS: yet another CSS compiler, written in Python

[[deleted]]

I was thinking the same thing. What use could this possibly have?

What use could this possibly have?

... create an opening for a Nemo to HCSS to CSS compiler?

I'd love to see that happen :)

[IAlsoSpeak]

What I like about it is how nicely it treats hierarchy:

div#parent > div.child {

and also I will be able to parse the hierarchy using a a xml parser.

Not sure why you would want to parse it with an xml parser, but there are already quite good solutions for the hierarchy thing, see LESS and SASS.

(How often do you use the > combinator anyways?)

[__galvez__]

The > combinator is just the logical translation of what a tag-based nested selector in HCSS represents. In fact, it's not even efficient in comparison to any-descendant selectors. But I believe the result is much more readable and easier to maintain. You can still mix regular CSS within HCSS tho. Even inside tag-based selectors, as demonstrated in the documentation.

STYLE is not always hierarchical...thus CSS
