Talk:Requests for comment/Change LESS compilation library

Go for it!
Not a lot of additional technical insight, I am afraid, just a big vote in favor of this RfC. The currently used LESS parser is not able to parse Bootstrap 3 anymore. The oyejorge one is and so I use it for Extension:Bootstrap in latest versions. Works great. Also the developer's stated intention to basically mirror the JS version of the LESS parser makes a lot of sense to me. The only problem right now is that the new parser lib contains a lessc.php file to be used as a drop-in replacement for the old compiler which is problematic and leads to error messages when they are used in parallel. So, as far as I am concerned, the sooner we can get rid of the old parser, the happier I will be.

One more thing to take into consideration: The new parser is available as a Composer package. Don't know if we could/should make use of that.
