Is this project officially dead?

[danyj]

We see that you are updating things around and I am sure that you are aware that we cannot use your class on Bootstrap 3
#520
#535
any many more.

So can you please be straight forward and say if the project is dead so we can move on instead of coming here for help ?
We all understand that things happen in life but you should be aware that many of us are waiting for a fix and do not want to move to over-bloated compilers.

Just an honest answer please.

Thank you.

See #503 (comment) (i.e. It is, unless someone takes over).

[Yahasana]

there are guys want to take over it. but it seem that the owner doesn't open the management door

[danyj]

I dont get it
#503 (comment)
"The stuff that is missing for BS3 is actually fairly minimal. Biggest show stopper for latest less version is extends, if it's the same as SCSS then I've already implemented it..."

So if it so minimal why is no one adding it in?

Just tested that "recommended" new compiler from oyejorge and it kills server performance plus the logic of checking changed files and cache is something I would not wish up on anyone. You end up with over 6.5MB of cache folder. Imagine the power server needed to create those.

We got to fix leafo's code. Il see if I can get some of my coders to do this.

I gave some people commit access but they didn't do anything. If anyone else wants it tell me

[danyj]

Leafo please check your email

Also regarding performance, I rewrote lessphp parser many times searching the best solution. I'm entirely convinced that I came up with the fastest way possible parse text in pure PHP 😏 If someone comes up with a faster method I'd love to know!

[danyj]

Like I just commented above , in case of speed and simplicity I dont see any other php LESS compiler competing. Please take a sec to check my email. Thnx !

With regard to "I dont see any other php LESS compiler competing" http://lessphp.gpeasy.com/

@frob Using it already, but speed is not even close. Great lib , was able to do much with it but I miss the speed from leafo. To bad we cant continue this here.

[greghouston]

Regarding speed, I tried out oyejorge/less.php and it was insanely slow compared to leafo/lessphp. I do hope someone can pick this up.

[tm1000]

This topic is confusing. Doesn't seem like anyone (except maybe @danyj ) is really offering anything and when @leafo gives access then no one actually wants to do anything. Why can't we collaborate with oyejorge on making his product better in speed? It almost seems like it's more of an effort getting lessphp to work than making speed improvements in oyejorge's project at this point...

oyejorge/less.php#60

[frob]

I am honestly not real concerned with speed. I use this with Drupal and it is all preprocessed anyway in production.

I agree with @tm1000 we should probably focus on speeding up oyejorge/less.php#60

We could take over the project, or fork it ?
