I don't like this.

I prefer the freedom of platforms like LESS or SASS. They can implement changes faster and they can have full set of features without worrying about updates or platforms. They just output standard CSS.

If we relay on browser features, we will be slower, we will tie up to vendor differences and things will get complicate over time to develop something cool, in fact, there will be projects for sure that re-unify what browsers precompile, so, no to this.

I would suggest vendors to support the standard CSS spec to the max, and keep this good work instead going something really new like this.




As read on other comments: preprocessor variables have nothing to do with this kind of variables. Read the spec, they're a very powerful tool.
