The developer definetly got carried away with features.

That’s why I wrote CleanCSS. Same indentation-based syntax, without all those functionalities that added to much complexity to a great idea.

I also figured I would not implement CSS variables since I find it works great if you preprocess the ccss with a templating engine like mako or jinja if you really need them.
