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,
