I was interested to find out what the differences were between Grunt-Sass and Grunt-Contrib-Sass.

Following on from my previous blog post on “Using Yeoman in your workflow“, it was brought to my attention during the Yeoman install when the interactive prompt asked if I wanted to use Libsass to compile Sass.

So I recently asked on Twitter and received the following tweets. Thanks to @sindresorhus for the explanation.

@AdelineYaw we support both. you choose which in the wizard. grunt-sass is a lot faster, but missing Sass 3.1-3.3 stuff @addyosmani @yeoman

@AdelineYaw grunt-contrib-sass uses the official slow Sass which is in Ruby. grunt-sass uses libsass which is in C++. @addyosmani @yeoman

So as you can see, both options are available and it’s really up to you if you choose to go with grunt-sass or grunt-contrib-sass.
