Ugh Yuk!!! That’s the proposed variable syntax for css?! Ugh nooo! That’s awful…
I also don’t like the proposed syntax for CSS variables. I prefer the syntax in Sass and Less.
However, there’s big value in the concept of CSS variables. CSS variables is one of the reasons why I believe preprocessors have become popular. I might not agree with W3C’s proposed syntax, but I want CSS variables.
