Power/exponent expression support

Thoughts on adding native support for exponents in Sass expressions? While a simple loop can easily calculate positive integers, other values are more difficult to calculate. It can be done but not efficiently in pure Sass.

Preferred syntax would be like Ruby:

5px**2

A function could work as well:

pow(5px, 2)

@corysimmons No, 3 years to come up with a good, solid spec and implementation of namespacing and modules, while also handling all the other bugs and improvements that a popular living project like Sass generates.

Being rude can feel a little good in the moment, but it’s never polite, and it’s a major contributor to project-maintainer burnout. Next time you feel the need to leave a comment while annoyed, please consider waiting a while to cool down, and if you still feel like being a little rude, consider not posting at all.

I’m not part of the Sass project, nor was I replying to you. I was just updating the thread.

You need to seriously reconsider how you interact with project maintainers. Negativity generally has the exact opposite effect of what you want; it certainly doesn’t encourage people to work on the thing you’re “asking” about.
