I like LESS better than SASS because of LESS syntax that is basically just extending plain CSS syntax.

At the moment, I’m trying out LESS with Blueprint on a small Symfony Framework project.

Rather than the following typical blueprint div:

I like the LESS approach of:

Where the LESS file looks like:

@import “blueprint/screen.css”;
.sidebar {
.span-4;
.last;
/* other sidebar properties */
}

Cleaner, more semantic, and ability to reuse classes from a CSS library/framework.

Ben: sent you a message on twitter.
And by the way, I built Less because I wasn’t satisfied with SASS.

I would like to contact the creators of less, Alexis Sellier and Dmitry Fadeyev, but there’s apparently no way on the Less website. Hopefully they’ll come up here and try to reach me?

All of this is stuff I’ve wanted in CSS3 for a long time. Too bad there’s not a PHP port.
