Rob, Sorry for the late reply. I've been a bit distracted the past few days. I'll try to address your thoughts as best I can.
*There could even be a grid protocol and fluid, responsive, fixed, mobile, etc be implementations of it, or multi-methods, or maybe its an overkill.* I don't think this is overkill. At the very least it's probably worth exploring. While I was "translating" the semantic grid SCSS code to Clojure, protocols did cross my mind. As I noted in the code comments there are a handful of "core" functions you see in virtually every grid system; well, in virtually every grid system I've ever seen. My instincts lead me to believe experimenting with protocols would be a step in the right direction. *... image overlay ... that could be really nice since a lot of designers still hand in photoshop illustrations that developers need to fit in* We have the JVM at our disposal. I'm fairly certain this could be a simple task although I'm not certain where one would start (probably Google). *Do you plan on incorporating a grid framework/concept in Garden? * Yes, but I'm waiting until Garden is no longer in beta (which should only be for another month or so). If you, or anyone reading this, would like to share gists/concepts for a grid framework that would definitely help keep the ball rolling. My main focus right now is making sure I've covered the most important topics (ie. color, units, comments, compilation) so people can feel confident and productive - especially if they're coming from Sass or another alt-css language. *...the pound signs are causing reader errors... * That's because I was using *data_readers.clj*. Have a look *here*<https://github.com/noprompt/garden/blob/master/dev/data_readers.clj>. I would definitely encourage anyone using Garden to employee this approach. Regarding the new CSS grid spec and not holding my breath. I won't. It'll probably be at least a year or two before we see something solidified and even longer before it's a viable option. It's a good idea but it still needs a ton of work. Anyhow, thanks for sharing your ideas! I look forward to hearing more from you.
