One more thing regarding library support in Sass. Many of the frameworks you'll find out there which give you a responsive grid, button helpers, etc. are trivial to implement in Clojure. Many times it's just simple arithmetic or map manipulation. Some frameworks like Compass have no answer but unless you need that level of sophistication (many times you don't) you should be fine. Here is a responsive grid system and modular scale: https://github.com/noprompt/noprompt.github.io/blob/master/clojure/blog/src/blog/util.clj -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
