So there's 2 points that I raised. The main one is getting the
*@import*working. And I probably just need to see an example of how to
do that in
the API. With that, I'd probably move over to hiccup / garden.

Wrt garden-watch <https://github.com/twashing/garden-watch>, I understand
and agree with your rationale. However, I can think of at least 2
considerations where a user of the tool may not want to enter the repl.

   1. A user in some other language wants a simple tool from which they can
   generate HTML or CSS. For example, when I use guard and it's plugins (see
   here <https://github.com/guard/guard-haml> and
here<https://github.com/hawx/guard-sass>),
   it doesn't force my project to use Ruby. And we shouldn't make that
   imposition on others.
   2. If I have a designer building out solely my HTML / CSS, I'd like her
   to just edit edn, and have corresponding code generated. No need for her to
   dive into a repl unnecessarily.


But again, for my immediate needs, point 2 is secondary. I just need
@import and those other edge cases working. I still think inlining raw CSS
is a good idea, for just seeing which use cases garden misses.
