"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

,max
, & now/
), everyone hates it. -

/
has become one of the most common list delimiters in CSS. Somath.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.
