See http://github.com/cowboyd/less.rb for less ruby development.

It's time CSS was done right – LESS is leaner css.

to get the latest development version:

sudo gem install less -s http://gemcutter.org

to get the latest stable version:

sudo gem install less

LESS allows you to write CSS the way (I think) it was meant to, that is: with variables, nested rules and mixins!

@dark: #110011;
.outline (@width: 1) { border: (@width * 10px) solid black }

.article {
	a { text-decoration: none }
	p { color: @dark }
	.outline(3);
}

.article a { text-decoration: none }
.article p { color: #110011 }
.article { border: 30px solid black }

If you have CSS nightmares, just $ lessc style.less
