SCSS: Started with static website
SASS is a CSS preprocessor that is designed to be used as a standalone preprocessor, or as part of a framework called Compass. SASS for CSS is very similar to CSS, for creating CSS files that are more easily readable and maintainable than traditional CSS files. In the next chapper, we will learn how to use SASS to create a simple CSS file.

SSGs through the ages: The ‘After Jekyll’ era
Soon after, Chris Epstein, the creator of Compass and co-creator of Sass, forked Brandon’s repository and asked for some help with the design. Being a big fan of Chris’s, Brandon jumped on the opportunity straight away. He pulled out the content, made the theme more generic, and named his creation Octopress.

Asset Pipeline JS Migration
Using Webpacker in Rails provides several advantages over the traditional asset pipeline. First, Webpacker uses JavaScript modules, which allows for better code organization and improved code reusability. Second, it offers modern frontend build tools, such as Babel and PostCSS, for transforming and compiling assets. Third, it provides faster build times and faster runtime performance through code splitting and lazy loading. Fourth, it offers better integration with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular. Overall, Webpacker offers a more flexible and modern asset management solution for Rails applications. And while Webpacker is being retired, this initiative is to consolidate our code accordingly before moving our bundler to another solution.
