I was maintaining this blog website as usual, and I noticed that there was an new release of Node, so I upgraded it, then the package node-sass started complaining that it is not compatible with ^v16.
I was left no choice but to roll back.
After I deleted the node_modules directory and was trying to reinstall every dependency with npm i, the following errors popped out:

Fuck that I have just gotten along well with SCSS!
But a crap is a crap, I'll have to solve it.
So I went to look for SASS alternatives.
Internet gave me two options: Less & Stylus, and I went for the latter.
Turns out it worked out great: its grammar is pretty similar to SASS, and overall is compatible with SCSS, just that I'll have to rewrite some variable definitions.
Conclusion: Don't use SASS.
