SassC::Rails

We all love working with Sass, but compilation can take quite a long time for larger codebases. This gem integrates the C implementation of Sass, libsass, into the asset pipeline.

In one larger project, this made compilation 4x faster:

# Using sassc-rails

[1] pry(main)> Benchmark.bm { |bm| bm.report { Rails.application.assets["application.css"] } }
       user     system      total        real
   1.720000   0.170000   1.890000 (  1.936867)

# Using sass-rails

 [1] pry(main)> Benchmark.bm { |bm| bm.report { Rails.application.assets["application.css"] } }
       user     system      total        real
  7.820000   0.250000   8.070000 (  8.106347)

This should essentially be a drop in alternative to sass-rails.

Note: This is a new project, please report any issues you come across!
