Myth uses autoprefixer[1] so you can use it directly if you don't need other features. It "just works".

What Hacker News says
7 sourcesIn the article, it's mentioned that there isn't great support for flexbox, which is only half true.
Using a combination of the older and new syntax (display: box and display: flex), you can already do quite a bit.
I've been using autoprefixer (https://github.com/ai/autoprefixer) for a few months now, building simple flexboxes all over the place with the attributes from the new spec, and have only run into one or two little issues that I can generally hack away.
In CSS3 Features That You Can Finally Start Usingan alternative is rework: https://github.com/visionmedia/rework. both absurd and rework use https://github.com/visionmedia/css-parse for parsing CSS. the difference is that rework already has a bunch of great plugins like https://github.com/ai/autoprefixer. i'm not sure why this guy doesn't leverage any of the existing ones.
the only difference is using JSON and JS input vs. a CSS string, but he could have easily written that in less than 100 lines vs an entirely separate framework.
