Sass (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets) is a mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language. It provides similar features to Less, such as variables, mixins, and nested rules. Sass has two syntaxes: the original 'indent' syntax that is similar to Haml and the newer 'SCSS' that uses braces like CSS. It's one of the most popular CSS preprocessors.
Stylus is a preprocessor that offers a mix of features from both Sass and Less, as well as some additional unique features. It has a more flexible syntax that can be written with or without braces, colons, and semicolons. Stylus provides powerful and efficient stylesheet writing capabilities.
PostCSS is a tool for transforming CSS with JavaScript plugins. These plugins can lint your CSS, support variables and mixins, transpile future CSS syntax, inline images, and more. PostCSS is different from preprocessors like Sass and Less in that it's modular and can be configured to perform a wide variety of tasks.
