CJSS vs Stylus: What are the differences?
What is CJSS? A CSS based web framework. First off, everything happens in your CSS file. You can layer this into your websites as you see fit. You can use this to layer on just a little bit more functionality in your CSS here and there or construct an entire page.
What is Stylus? Expressive, robust, feature-rich CSS language built for nodejs. Stylus is a revolutionary new language, providing an efficient, dynamic, and expressive way to generate CSS. Supporting both an indented syntax and regular CSS style.
CJSS and Stylus can be primarily classified as "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" tools.
CJSS is an open source tool with 659 GitHub stars and 19 GitHub forks. Here's a link to CJSS's open source repository on GitHub.
Originally, I was going to start using Sass with Parcel, but then I learned about Stylus, which looked interesting because it can get the property values of something directly instead of through variables, and PostCSS, which looked interesting because you can customize your Pre/Post-processing. Which tool would you recommend?
