Static Asset Deployment<br />
Client-side: LESS files are compiled every page load on the client-side. This results<br />
in exceptionally slow response times and horrible flash-of-unstyled-text.<br />
How do they influence the <strong>developer</strong> workflow during theming?<br />
Client-side (Javascript based) compilation is hardly a consideration as <strong>developer</strong>s<br />
should be more efficient than that. Magento provides a Grunt toolkit which will<br />
watch the source files and re-compile the output ones when changes are made.<br />
More information can be found on DevDocs. Further, we have had good success<br />
using Gulp from the Snowdog Frontools project and their Magento SASS port.<br />
SASS (and Gulp) compiles significantly faster than LESS (and Grunt) and Frontools<br />
provides additional features such as BabelJS support.<br />
