Is there a SASS.js? Something like LESS.js?

There is no officially sanctioned JavaScript implementation of sass or scss. There are a couple of implementations in progress that I’ve seen, but none that I can recommend using at this time.

However, please a few points:

  1. Why should you make all your users compile your stylesheets when you can do it once for all of them.
  2. What would your site look like if JavaScript is disabled.
  3. If you decide to change to a server-side implementation at a future time, all your templates must be changed accordingly.

So while it’s a little more setup to get started, we (the sass core team) think that server side compilation is the best long term approach. Similarly, the less developers prefer server side compilation for production stylesheets.
