Are CSS Pre-Processors Becoming Obsolete?

CSS pre-processors have been one of the most useful tools in our web development toolbox for decades.

In this talk we will dive into the similarities and differences between the features introduced by CSS pre-processors and those of the newer CSS specs, when to use each, and how they can get along
