CSS is an extension of HTML and is confined to HTML element attributes.
JSON is a generic data interchange format (DIF)
LESS and SASS are preprocessors that programmatically generate 'static'
CSS but PHP, etc. can do that too if you care to write it.
Perhaps to answer your question they were all developed by different
inhabitants of the Tower but you knew that.
It seems to me that a) extra layers or preprocessors just make
development and debugging harder and b) JSON is a rebellion against XML
as a DIF.
BTW why are all serious coding languages and tools written in English?

Why is CSS an entirely different syntax than JSON or even HTML?
