I don't know. As a fan of CSS I don't really "get" Less.js ... Sure I understand the benefit of defining certain properties, but are the benefits good enough to warrant depending on an additional javascript library for something like this? What happens if people block javascript?

I don't know. It's not bad, but it's not for me. But going as fas as to say it will obsolete CSS, that's just too much.

Nothing, in production you'd use the compiled ver. The article should make this clearer though.


That depends. The "new" version they talk about in the article does require Javascript, since it does on-the-fly compiling. For the current version you're right.


I understand the thing they just released allows on-the-fly compiling. I'm just suggesting is that since the existing options remain available, you can still use them.


The early implementation of CSS in Netscape relied on Javascript. That was no fun.
