    LESS is a friendly, easily-approachable CSS preprocessor. Though ultimately, Sass and Stylus are more powerful and robust, LESS has a certain charm that keeps it as a forerunner in the battle of the preprocessors. If you're a Sass fan, then you can take advantage of Compass, an incredible framework that makes coding with complex CSS3 properties a breeze. But what about LESS users? Where's their Compass? Today we'll look at three awesome mixin libraries that will help fill that void.

  • The only difference in variables between LESS and Sass is that, while LESS uses @, Sass uses $. There are some scope differences as well, which I’ll get to shortly.
  • With Sass, you declare @mixin prior to the style to identify it as a mixin. Later, you declare @include to call it.
  • Parametric Mixins Like having functions in your CSS (*swoon*), these can be immensely useful for those seemingly redundant tasks of modern-day CSS.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • .border-radius( @radius: 3px ) { -webkit-border-radius: @radius; -moz-border-radius: @radius; border-radius: @radius; }
  • The syntax in Sass is very similar to that of LESS. Just use the $ for variables, and call the mixins with the @mixin and @include method mentioned earlier.
  • Selector Inheritance Here’s something not provided in LESS. With this ability, you can append a selector to a previously established selector without the need to add it in a comma-separated format. .menu { border: 1px solid #ddd; } .footer { @extend .menu; } /* will render like so: */ .menu, .footer { border: 1px solid #ddd; }
  • With LESS, you can nest ids, classes and elements as you go.
  • You can also refer in element styles to their pseudo-elements by using the &, which in this case functions similar to this in JavaScript.
  • Sass is a lot more versatile with numbers than LESS. It has built into it conversion tables to combine comparable units.
  • Sass seems to have a lot more color options — not that I would need them all. Lighten and darken are the only ones that I see myself using often.
  • Conditionals and Control This is rather nifty, and another thing not provided by LESS. With Sass, you have the ability to use if { } else { } conditional statements, as well as for { } loops. It supports and, or and not, as well as the <, >, <=, >= and == operators.
