Techopedia Explains Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets
Sass is an advanced variant of CSS that is completely compatible with all versions of CSS. It uses Sass Script as the scripting language.
Sass uses two different syntaxes. Its original syntax, the indented syntax, uses indentation to separate blocks and newline characters. The new syntax, SCSS, uses code blocks and semicolons to differentiate between lines in a block.
Compass, Bourbon and Susy are some of the frameworks built for Sass.
