Without rehashing backstory which is available in public archives of this thread, while node is currently on the table for LESS it also may play a role<br>
in future needs as well.<br>
<br>
As for your link, yes there are LESS compilers in other languages (there's even a nascent one in Python that's very much not ready for prime time) but requiring PHP or any other language besides Python opens a similar can of worms, and PHP gets us nowhere on any other fronts.<br>
<br>
/me refrains from any other comments about PHP.<br>
<br>
Moreover, the canonical LESS compiler which is the best supported and most stable is the main one written for node.js. Unless there were a 100% working Python version I see no reason not to favor the "real" LESS compiler.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

For LESS, it think it is fine to use even server side Javascript. The CSS should be compiled at RPM/DEB build time, and not at run time for live deployments, so that is a bit of a non-issue. I'd also be fine with using the client side LESS implementation, especially if we want to use the same implementation at development and live deployment time, but I can understand if there are issues with doing this.<br>

Node.js is a whole different server side technology, and that should not be implemented at this time.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

Sorry if I've missed anything below, this thread has become rather<br>
fragmented and messy (at least in my email clients) but I will try to<br>
address the main points I have seen so far:<br>

Sorry, if I jump in late in this thread, I may have skipped some basics.<br>
If I get it right, nodejs is just required to compile LESS to css, right?<br>
<br>
There is at least one alternative without requiring nodejs:<br>
