Switch from less to postcss #102

Open scottohara opened 8 years ago

scottohara commented 8 years ago

Less seems to be falling in popularity, with Sass gaining (eg. Bootstrap switched from Less to Sass).

We should consider whether a switch in appropriate or not.

Note: Bootstrap's switch from Less to Sass only comes with v4.x.

We currently import the mixins.less and variables.less files into our loot.less file; therefore this issue is blocked until bootstrap@4.x is out of beta.

Or PostCSS? (instead of Sass)

PostCss is to CSS what Babel is to JS: a way to use future/proposed CSS specs today.

Some of the benefits of PostCss include:

Uses plugins (so you only include the bits you actually want to use)
Follows the standards (where possible), so that once available you can remove a plugin and revert to native without changing code
