I want to second Adam's comment:

"Node.js is a whole different server side technology, and that should not be implemented at this time."

for all the reasons others have expressed in this thread.

Without rehashing backstory which is available in public archives of this thread, while node is currently on the table for LESS it also may play a role in future needs as well.

As for your link, yes there are LESS compilers in other languages (there's even a nascent one in Python that's very much not ready for prime time) but requiring PHP or any other language besides Python opens a similar can of worms, and PHP gets us nowhere on any other fronts.

/me refrains from any other comments about PHP.

Moreover, the canonical LESS compiler which is the best supported and most stable is the main one written for node.js. Unless there were a 100% working Python version I see no reason not to favor the "real" LESS compiler.

All the best,

For LESS, it think it is fine to use even server side Javascript. The CSS should be compiled at RPM/DEB build time, and not at run time for live deployments, so that is a bit of a non-issue. I'd also be fine with using the client side LESS implementation, especially if we want to use the same implementation at development and live deployment time, but I can understand if there are issues with doing this.

Node.js is a whole different server side technology, and that should not be implemented at this time.

Sorry, if I jump in late in this thread, I may have skipped some basics.

If I get it right, nodejs is just required to compile LESS to css, right?

There is at least one alternative without requiring nodejs:
