Would be great if you had a LESS version
I concur. This would be awesome if there was LESS support
:+1:
Hey guys!!! =)
Please, this is very relevant... take look at this.

+1, Less is really easer to use maintain and compile.
+1 My team is eager to start using Materialize, but we are waiting for LESS version.
we need the LESS version, would be great.
+1... I think it would be really important. LESS is easer to work
+1 A LESS version would be great. Much easier.
Support for Less would be awesome!!

Might give this a go myself.
+1 This would let people who use LESS to import Materialize directly into their code.
please allow less :( - 99% of my css is less compiled

LESS would be less instead of S(ass)
+1 It would be awesome :)
:+1:
As long as it doesn't replace SASS!
But it would mean more work to keep up to date both LESS and SASS to do the same job.

:+1: Is anyone actually working on this? From what I can see, all one would need to do is make a copy of everything in the SASS folder, convert it to LESS, and then include less wherever the SASS files were getting included/referenced... Is that all there is to it?

Who can list compelling reasons why migrate on less?
Don't you think that there is a big enough crowd that prefer LESS? A lot of
people with Twitter Bootstrap background knows LESS better and I do think
that there is a whole lot of people with that background. With that said,
SASS is getting more and more dominant and even Bootstrap is letting go of
LESS in their Bootstrap 4 so, as of now, i cannot see any reason except
convenience for all the people that prefer LESS, but I don't know in what
approach you have towards your users.

This would allow Materialize to work with Sails.js (which use Less) by default and would be awesome for fast development

There are so many people left +1 comment here, that more than enough to develop a fork of MarerializeCSS with LESS, instead of asking 4 busy core devs :smile:
I agree with @kmmbvnr that there are a "big enough crowd that prefer LESS" to do something about it, then someone ought to do something, right?
Also, that are arguably more reasons to keep SASS only than to have a LESS version, or even both of them. The popularity of something does not necessarily indicate any form of superiority. Because IDE vs SCSI, VHS vs Betamax, Blue-ray vs HD DVD, to name but a few, were popular, and yet not necessarily the best technological choices.
The module is published with a pre-built CSS file that can easily be merged with other CSS files, generated or not. I don't see a good reason to fiddle with the SASS anyway; extend the styles with your own custom selectors and styles!
This isn't something that we think would be a good use of our time, so we won't be maintaining a LESS version. If someone does make their own however, post it here to help people out 👍

totally understandable though, this lib wasn't built on Less.
+1 Less!
