This is one the reasons Hampton Catlin (the original author of Sass) created libsass, a port of Sass to C for portability. Check it out: https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass

Huh, never saw this! And it does seem to support SCSS (I don't like the SASS style at all). I'll have to take a look at this more closely.

Thanks!

Is it safe to assume that this compiles CSS much faster than the original?

After some brief testing: definitely. Faster than LESS by a good bit, too.

I'm not sure I'm going to use it, because of the compiled dependency (I'm on a Scala/Vert.x stack and I like being able to just check it out and hit "go"), but it's at least a practical option for me and I'm glad it exists.
