as the article states, "CSS frameworks (haml, sass, less) are meant for server-side templating and we need client-side templating."

this is intended for client-side templating and dynamically assigning CSS classes and properties at run-time.

That reasoning is kind of circular, isn't it? Why do you need client-side stylesheet dynamism?

So you can allow styles to update without a page reload?

For example, on Mibbit, you can skin your client how you like. You just open a prefs screen and mess with colors, fonts, backgrounds, etc.

Using css for that would be ridiculous. Hence client side styling via js.
