Compass style libraries for LESS css?
CssLessCompass SassCss Problem Overview
SASS has Compass (a community maintained library of sass mixins/methods).
Does LESS have any supporting libraries that can compare to Compass? Listing anything would be helpful!

Another great mini-library...

Solution 2 - Css
There are less elements, but it's hardly a collection. I agree it would be nice to have something like this.
Solution 3 - Css
Take a look at my compless repo. There I try to implement some features of Compass using less. Mixins are divided into categories in a way how it done in Compass' reference. Patches are welcome! :)
Solution 4 - Css
Here are another couple of choices: lesshat and clearless
Also, this blog post compares 3 less libraries: less elements vs bootstrap vs lesshat.
From the post, it seems like both bootstrap and lesshat beat less elements,
however depending what you need you would choose between bootstrap and lesshat.

PS:
If you're just look looking for some basic mixins, and for you - a whole library is overkill - then maybe this post from css-ticks is more for you.
Solution 5 - Css
I just launched {lessins}, it is a library of common mixins, similar to bootstrap.less or less elements, but with a focus exclusively on mixins (the others include some unecessary variables, that seem remnants of other projects.)
I have also organized the mixins into bundles. Check it out: https://github.com/jdmiller82/-lessins-
Solution 6 - Css
Old question, but right now Lots of Love for Less (3L) is far more complete and generic than Preboot née Bootstrap!
Solution 7 - Css
Try Preboot. It is a pretty cool LESS library from a member of Bootstrap team.
Solution 8 - Css
This is an old question but let me share this recently made Bootstrap3-LESSHAT Boilerplate.
The Boilerplate has the LESS Hat Mixin Library (counterpart of Compass) set up as well as the Font Awesome Iconset.
Solution 9 - Css
There's a new library called more-or-less which is similar lesshat but a lot faster since it does not use inline-javascript.
Just like lesshat it allows to use endless layers for e.g box-shadow or background-image.
It basically has all of the lesshat mixins plus a few other helpful functions.
.for().find().in().join().repeat()
