The new version (written in Dart of all things) seems pretty fast. The old ruby implementation was insanely slow, and the nodesass rewrite was insanely broken.
Whatever they got now though is just about perfect for me
Embedded SASS promises to be faster anyway, though still slow IMO..
There are some issues with realizing the potential though. Namely, a standard-ish CRA React app will have thousands of SCSS compilation entrypoints due to importing SCSS in individual component modules.
Lack of process reuse is causing many to see slightly SLOWER compile times. Next you have:
* Lack of tooling support: Vite?
* Need to migrate SCSS syntax
* ??
As soon as it's a free-ish upgrade with high ROI on swapping it in, I'll take it! I think SCSS is a dead-end though. Modern CSS + postcss for some CSS-Next polyfills is the way forward IMO.
