I'm not sure if it is smart to use simple text macro processing system as a replacement for full-featured DSL such is Sass. And I don't think that some features available (and really useful!) in Sass are even possible with Ddoc.
Well you'd be surprised. But the same guideline applies - the tool needs to offer enough payoff to justify the dependency.
I confess getting a bit uncomfortable about adding new dependencies at this point. We depend on dpl-docs already, and the tool was difficult to install and broke from one dmd release to the next. Sönke was nice and proactive about it, but he's an active member of the community. If we find issues with tooling coming from the outside - and we will - we're on our own. It would help if many people in the community are fluent with them.
Adding a tool right now that has overlapping functionality with ddoc/dpl-docs, and that is relatively unknown within the community sounds like a tall order.
