I never use css macros-tools, regular template libraries are 
usually better (e.g. jinja2 allows me to execute python 
expressions if needed). With current browsers the CSS is getting 
much more streamlined too and the worst browser bugs require 
javascript detection anyway so macros don't cut it.

If you use static fallbacks then dynamic CSS calc() expressions 
are starting to become useful (lacking on Safari 5 and some 
Android browsers).

For javascript I strongly suggest using the very efficient and 
typesafe Closure compiler. It has a  good optimizer, dead code 
elimination and tight minimization. And it requires no 
install-dependencies since it is available as a REST web service:

http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home

https://developers.google.com/closure/

Closure type annotations are in comments, so the annotated 
javascript code runs as regular javascript.
