The road to Dart 3: A fully sound, null safe language
5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2022

The main sass implementation is in dart https://github.com/sass/dart-sass, which I think is dumb because it's a fair amount slower than the old libsass written in C.
The reason they spouted was due to "Low developer resources" due to the difficulty of C, so they swapped to a language pretty much only used by Googlers. Google now has control of sass, which then gives them greater influence (even greater than just having browser majority) over CSS Spec choices (see CSS Nesting spec).

esbuild --> Could not resolve "js/app.js"
1 project | /r/elixir | 8 Sep 2022

Seems something weird with this version of `esbuild`. Could you try `0.14.29`? It's worth posting a bug in https://github.com/phoenixframework/esbuild/issues repo.

Elixir Phoenix 1.6 Esbuild + SCSS
3 projects | dev.to | 4 Dec 2021

Initially I just copied and pasted all the snippets thoughtlessly and one issue occurred. Because I use both phoenixframework/esbuild and CargoSense/dart_sass and they both output the CSS build result to the same file priv/static/assets/app.css, which means they keep on overriding that same file.
Adding Bootstrap to a Phoenix 1.6 project
2 projects | dev.to | 9 Oct 2021

For JavaScript and CSS, Phoenix is using esbuild as the new default bundler. To support Sass, we need to add a Sass compiler to the project. The dart_sass package is based on the official esbuild package created by Wojtek Mach and José Valim and integrates the official Sass compiler as a build tool.
