About:
Sassc is a lightweight command-line wrapper around the Libsass C library, designed for fast and efficient Sass compilation. It provides a straightforward interface for converting SCSS/SASS files into CSS, making it ideal for build pipelines and scripts. Its primary value is delivering the speed of Libsass with the familiar CLI syntax of the original Ruby Sass tool.

Key Features:

Fast compilation powered by the Libsass C++ library
Command-line interface compatible with Ruby Sass conventions
Low overhead and minimal dependencies
Supports source maps and standard Sass options

Use Cases:

Compiling SCSS files to CSS in build automation scripts
Integrating Sass compilation into CI/CD pipelines for web projects
Replacing the slower Ruby-based Sass compiler for performance gains

Alternatives:

dart-sass – Dart Sass is the primary implementation of Sass, offering the latest features and active development, while Sassc provides C++ performance.
ruby-sass – The original implementation, now deprecated; Sassc was a popular alternative for speed.
