A very interesting conference talk by Chris Eppstein, creator of SASS itself, showing some of the new features in SASS 3.3:

  • ability to move the parent selector ”&” BEHIND a selector, which allows totally different nesting
  • native debugging with Chrome’s DevTools
  • strings as a variable’s content
  • some interesting stuff taken from real programming lenguages, like string length getter function and string manipulation (capitalize, convert-to-lowercase, camel-casing etc.)
  • arrays / maps (and according foreach functions)
  • “meta scripting”: check if something exists
  • inject into parents
  • override/reset @media rules
  • changes in the scopes of variables

Side-note: PHP guys, have a look into How to use SASS in Laravel (with pure PHP) if you like. The used SASS compiler currently (March 2013) supports SASS 3.2, but 3.3 is in the making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJeOJGazgE
