devs already have tools like scss which pretty much handle it. this will be nice for modifying things on the fly with the inspector, though

as for your ridiculous pixel idea: no. god no. that's what canvas is for

we've been using scss for over a year now and it works great for these sort of things. and by the nature of a preprocesser, it works across the browsers.

are these css variables in the video in a spec other browsers will support, or are they just going to work for this browser? If so, that's pretty worthless to me.

i think chrome supports it as well if you tick a box in about:flags
