I believe it is interesting to add that tool in Brackets, this is it extremely functional, not only this but also tool SASS and other preprocessors

+1 for stylus, it's much much much better than SASS and LESS and I don't use it only for the lack of a specific extension for Brackets.

Should be moved to Extensions idea I guess

IMHO I don't think Stylus is much better than Sass, but I agree that Stylus is better than LESS.

Some features in Stylus which are really useful and sweet:

• Selectors: selector() built-in functions
• Variables: Property Lookup
• Operators: Conditional Assignment
• Operators: Casting
• Sprintf: C feelings! =]
• Functions: Aliasing
• Hashes
• url() (inline-data() with Sass/Compass)
• Char Escaping

:+1: for Stylus. =]

Indeed, i'm working now with stylus and have an extension, but is bad with the syntax highlight :/

+1 to stylus, if brackets support LESS and SASS why not support for stylus if it's node based?

@nanotime In terms of syntax highlighting, the key prerequisite is for our editor UI widget, CodeMirror, to support a Stylus syntax highlighting mode. Currently it does not: http://codemirror.net/mode/index.html

well, maybe some developer with free time, seeing the +1s will start an extension to support Stylus.

Looks like@GarthDB hasn't updated this in a while, not sure if it still works (I know it's not in the extension repo) but could be a place for another develop to pick up from. https://github.com/GarthDB/Brackets-Stylus

Just an FYI,@dmitrykiselyov has made a great codemirror mode for stylus. The Brackets-Stylus extension has been updated with it.

Brackets added stylus syntax highlighting in 1.4. I also wrote a code hinting extension for it.

@sprintr oh cool - I'll just delete the extension from the registry. No need for it anymore.
