> Well, first, there is nothing preventing you from running JS or Java through the C preprocessor (and we did run JavaScript through it at my last job).

This is an interesting idea! What was the problem you were solving that required this?

I think actually the C preprocessor would solve a lot of the problems that, say, SCSS solves too:

    // put these in a header file, 'cssutil.h'
    #define HASH #
    #define f(x) x
    #define COLOR(c) f(HASH)c

    #define PREFIXED(x, y) \
        -webkit- ## x : y;\
        -moz- ## x : y;\
        -o- ## x : y;\
        x : y
    #define SHADOWED PREFIXED(box-shadow, 10px)

    
    // then in your css
    #include "cssutil.h"

    #define THEME_BG COLOR(fff)

    div.main {
        background: THEME_BG;
        SHADOWED;
    }

There we go, pristine(ish) CSS, unsullied by magic constants and messy prefixes! (note that my preprocessor-fu is weak, I don't know how to do variadic prefixes)
