What is LESS?

LESS (Leaner Style Sheets) is a CSS preprocessor that extends CSS with dynamic behaviors such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. LESS is commonly used to make CSS more maintainable, themeable, and extensible. It allows developers to write more concise and reusable CSS code, which is then compiled into standard CSS for browsers to interpret.
