If I were spinning up a new static site 10 years ago, it would have been Jekyll & Sass.
I hear the SSG hotness these days is Eleventy., Do we do Sass anymore or has CSS fully caught up?

Now that the weather is cooling I'm finally getting into this. Happy to report that Eleventy is a joy so far, the multiple collection mechanism is unlocking new ideas that will no doubt send me down a deep rabbit hole.

So far so good with a bunch of new (to me) native CSS like variables and grid.
It's when I start getting into override management around responsive treatments, custom page styling, etc. that my stylesheets get unwieldy. Sass mixins always helped tame the complexity when I hit this stage, and I knew how to use them properly to avoid bloat.
I see that native mixins are proposed, but looks like not an option yet. May need Sass after all. https://blog.master.dev/thoughts-on-native-css-mixins/
