Does anyone have any decent experiences with Less they can share?

Anyone? How about one of the other CSS tools? Or even HTML/CSS combining stunts.

Less used to be more, but now its something more and something
less.
"Mixins", hmmm, is somebody trying to bring back "flavors"? In lisp land they were great until they weren't, it was like buttons and threads. Suddenly, a mess. On 3/20/13 9:25 PM, Owen Densmore

What I have seen of less has been all good. Having variables and functions alone make css a lot more fun. Mixins are great with all the clean up they can bring by abstracting things that in reality have to be dealt with in series of one offs for different browsers.
It requires a compiler. You run a watcher that automatically updates every time you save the file. These things can be misconfigured or stop working, which is a bother, but same as any other automatic build process. I have been on projects using Compass http://compass-style.org/ lately. Adding ruby in the mix can make for some interesting scripts when you need to compile css for different situations (like having your static content on a CDN with a different URL while your dev compile is served on the app nodes itself). --joshua On Mar 20, 2013, at 9:56 PM, Carl Tollander <[hidden email]> wrote:
