SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) and SCSS (Sassy CSS) are both preprocessor languages for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). They allow you to use features that are not natively available in CSS, such as variables, nested rules, and mixins, which can make writing and maintaining CSS easier and more efficient.

There is no inherent difference in terms of difficulty between SASS and SCSS, as they are both preprocessor languages that compile to CSS.

The main difference between the two is the syntax. SASS uses indentation to denote nesting of rules, rather than curly braces and semicolons, which are used in SCSS. This can make SASS code look cleaner and more concise, but it can also be a bit unfamiliar if you are used to writing CSS.
