Hey all Horizoners,
This is last time I am trying to bring this concern up (well at least
last time for a while :)). But...
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.
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.
Thanks

Hi all,
So in IRC discussion we agreed to try 3 approaches how to resolve the
problem:
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.
2/ Investigate using lessc with other js engine than nodejs (eg. Rhino)
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.
