Hey all Horizoners,<br>
<br>
This is last time I am trying to bring this concern up (well at
least last time for a while :)). But...<br>
<br>
Watching latest progress with updating Bootstrap to v3 and dealing
with compiling issues, I am more and more concerned about
dependency on lesscpy. Currently the library supports only some
features of less. It is very small and very young project,
containing one or two maintainers. We are already waiting couple
of months so that we can update to Bootstrap 3 because of this
dependency. And all of these problems will not disappear once we
update Bootstrap. Because the library will support certain use
cases but when Horizon will grow we will use more advanced
features which the library will not have covered. And we will be
blocked by the same issue over and over again.<br>
<br>
So I would like to ask everybody, if we can reconsider this
dependency and find some other alternative. I know we moved from
nodejs, because it is packaging nightmare. But honestly, better to
invest more into packaging than being blocked months waiting for
features we need to get in. If we find some alternative for both,
it is win for us. But current situation is making me nervous.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
So in IRC discussion we agreed to try 3 approaches how to resolve
the problem:<br>
<br>
1/ Try to dive into Lesscpy and help with making it support
Bootstrap 3 (and gradually all less features), subsequently keep it
up to date.<br>
<br>
2/ Investigate using lessc with other js engine than nodejs (eg.
Rhino)<br>
<br>
3/ Have production and development environment in Horizon, where
development includes nodejs, release compiled css as well as less
files. The styling customization would then require user to
recompile stylesheets with his changes. On the other hand we'd have
nodejs present in development envitonment and be able to use other
tools that require it.<br>
