  1. "Why can't Sass do X? Other languages do it!" **Other languages are not a strict superset of CSS.** SassCSS has to be super careful that every feature we add is worth a potential future conflict with CSS. When that does happen (see min, max, & now /), everyone hates it.

      Recently / has become one of the most common list delimiters in CSS. So math.div() is needed as a quick fix. Long term, there are plans for a Sass calc() that can handle /-division, & output valid CSS calc() when necessary. I think it's pretty cool, but also harder to build.
