Use of Sass indented syntax about guides HOT 6 CLOSED

Anybody from @thoughtbot/design have an opinion on this?

from guides.

I have briefly tried the other way around: .sass for logic and .scss for styles.
The first problem I faced was how hard refactoring got. Most of my mixins are created from previously existing stylesheet code once a pattern starts forming. With this multi-syntax approach it makes that harder.

There is also the problem of context switching. In many cases, I have both open side by side and I end up typing ; or + in the wrong file.

This seems like such a strange idea, I'd love to see that blog post.

I agree with kaishin that refactoring and abstracting code out of existing styles is going to be your main problem. Separating out mixins, variables and extends is a good idea, but I would stick to whichever syntax you are using in the rest of your project.

I believe this was the essay I was talking about.

Any further thoughts here? Is there an action-item here? Close until we get a pull request?

I personally prefer .sass syntax, but I think mixing them would create much more confusion than it's worth. Closing for now.
