How to use LESS.js with Wordpress 3

How to integrate the less.js system correctly with Wordpress 3's raw "2010" template for local development?
I really would like to try using the less.js system for wordpress development but the way stylesheets are actually called is fairly complex. I want to do some customizing of the 2010 theme, which is structurally quite robust. But can't figure out how / where to insert the code and can't find a tutorial on this exact process anywhere.

You probably just need to run wp_enqueue_script in functions.php.
Something like this should work:

Something like this should work:
function add_less_js() { wp_enqueue_script( "less-js", "/wp-content/themes/2010/js/less.js" ); } add_action("init","add_less_js");that's assuming a file named less.js in the 2010's js directory, but you can adjust the path accordingly.

Response by poster: Thanks for these replies!
I had come up with the wp_enqueue function too; but was hoping someone had an example of it as a complete walkthrough, maybe even a pre-treated version of the twentyten them with the appropriate functions written in? ...and calls to the latest repository for less.js of course
I made a few tries at it a while back and somehow it didn't come together; but if nothing else is forthcoming I'll give it another shot with wp_enqueue
