Nodejs is a JavaScript engine - there's nothing magically about that 
language being better for manipulating web-oriented structures - not 
even juggling Javascript code.

As I understand it, a language like Haskell is a far better technical 
foundation for parsing, juggling and serializing JavaScript than 
JavaScript itself.

...but a JavaScript programmer happens to have implemented in JavaScript 
a minifier for JavaScript that proves quite efficient and quite 
reliable.  Great.

...but that says nothing about the quality of another implementation of 
a minifier for another language (CSS) - even though implementation 
platform happens to be the same (JavaSCript).


I recommend Sass because some of the finest CSS coders use it and 
implement plugins for it (see package ruby-compass and its reverse 
dependencies).

I have come by cssmin before, but found no urge to package it yet.
Thanks for asking, nevertheless :-)
