dart-sass?

[jethrolarson]

Is there any intent to swap to using https://github.com/sass/dart-sass when it goes gold?

Supposedly it's way faster, and speed hasn't been one of sass's strong points.

@jethrolarson 'dart-sass' is cool project, but there are a lot of bugs with sass original compatibility 😭

Agreeing with @evilebottnawi here, dart-sass is still under 'heavy' development and doesn't cover the whole SASS spec yet

[lukepolo]

Just went into beta , may be with looking into now

[alexander-akait]

@lukepolo seems more related to node-sass, we should have dart-sass port on nodejs. Now we don't have this port and it is impossible.

@evilebottnawi you can do npm install sass https://github.com/sass/dart-sass#from-npm

[alexander-akait]

@graingert can you explain why dart-sass is better (or not) than node-sass? Faster, better compatibility with orginal sass implementation or other feature. But main problem is dart-sass don't support custom importer, without this feature, it is impossibly to implement support dart-sass in sass-loader.

@evilebottnawi saves waiting for the compile step on npm install

Also it's the future of sass: http://sass.logdown.com/posts/1022316-announcing-dart-sass

@evilebottnawi Importer support is a high-priority feature for Dart Sass; we consider it blocking a 1.0.0 stable release.

For those googling around on how to use dart-sass instead of libsass/SassC in Vue, the answer is you can't. Until it has webpack/vue-loader/sass-loader support. Which can't happen without importer support, even if you are willing to simplify your sass to work with dart-sass.

You can follow progress here sass/dart-sass#12

[nex3]

I just put out sass/dart-sass#186 which adds support for synchronous importers. I hope to land it tomorrow. Asynchronous importers will take more work, but this is an important step.

[graingert]

Looks like @nex3 has merged async import support, can you reopen this ticket @michael-ciniawsky?
