Hey everyone,
I've seen this on the internet before but never really knew what it is. Today I decided to read an article about the .LESS library which is a port of the Ruby's LESS library for enhancing the capabilities of CSS. This library would definitely prove to be helpful when styling a website. Check it out:
DotLess.org (Official Website)
Improving CSS with .LESS (Tutorial Article)
What do you think?
That seems really interesting especially for the ability to have variables, functions, and nicer nested rules. I will surely check it out sometime soon. Bookmarked :)
I was wondering why wouldn't developers work on CSS to make it more of a language rather than a set of styling rules. I really wish it would develop to a certain point where it becomes an Object Oriented language. If there were an open-source project for that purpose, I might be interested in contributing. Is the idea actually feasible?

I have heard about the .LESS library before, and I think it is very useful. As for your question about making CSS more of a language, one option is that it becomes a hosted (compiled) language thus less compatible and portable than it currently is, which is not acceptable I guess (slower, no more static pages). The other option, making it a client side language is kind of already available by using javascript libraries like jquery, prototype and others.
My 2 cents, anyone cares to add?
Apparently, CSS is being worked on to support features available in the LESS library natively. Read more about it here.
An alternative to LESS would be SASS:
Sass makes CSS fun again. Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more.
