SassC/Libsass has been deprecated for years and has been replaced by Dart Sass. However, the dartsass-rails gem, maintained by the Rails team, doesn't support sprockets integration and doesn't allow glob imports (using `@import something/**/*` or similar). In particular, dartsass-rails needs to start a separate browser that makes it less straightforward to change a file and reload the browser. So we're using sassc-embedded, which provides Dart Sass integration with sprockets. While there's no guarantee this gem will be maintained a few years from now, we know for sure that SassC/Libsass won't be maintained at all, so using sassc-embedded is an improvement over our current situation. On my machine, this change reduces compilation times by about 35%. Note we still depend on the `sassc-rails` gem, for two reasons. First, we're still importing CSS/Sass content from a couple of gems (mainly, social-share-button and font-awesome) and we don't know how to import this content without the `sassc-rails` gem. And, second, it provides support for glob imports. Without it, we'd have to manually add every single (S)CSS file we import to the `application.scss` file instead of being able to write things like `@import admin/**/*";`. Note we're removing the `sass` gem from `Gemfile.lock`. We should have done it as part ofe210682ac, but when we developed that branch, it didn't contain the changes where we removed another gem depending on the `sass` gem (which we removed in commit2fa713c64), so Bundler didn't delete it. However, now that we're changing the Gemfile, Bundler is finally removing the no-longer-needed `sass` gem and its dependencies.
