Is it possible to implement Sass and compass while creating CSS styles within your HTML document? What key points should be taken into consideration?

Lately, I've been exploring sass and compass after seeing them used in a lot of code on Codepen. From what I gathered in the documentation, it seems like you need to have a separate sass folder that is monitored for changes, and when you save, it automatically updates the regular css in another folder. I'm more accustomed to writing my CSS directly in the HTML file using the style tag, especially in quick tutorials or practice sessions. Is there a way to write sass within the HTML file? Or do I now need to create a separate CSS file for my styles? If not, how would I go about doing this?

Unfortunately, it is not possible based on my understanding. Check out Using SASS/SCSS syntax inside <style> tag.

But why would anyone even want to use SASS? Some argue that it encourages poor CSS programming practices and the benefits it claims to offer are minimal. It just adds unnecessary complexity to your workflow, leading you down a path of dealing with gruntfiles, different versions of SASS, and ensuring Ruby is properly installed. In my opinion, it's best to steer clear of CSS frameworks that come bundled with SASS/SCSS/LESS.

While some preprocessors like Babel can be run in the browser for development purposes (converting ES6 to ES5), SASS is a different story. Unlike tools like Babel, which are written in JS and can easily be made to run in the browser, there isn't a practical way to execute SASS directly from a web browser.
