Less language is an extension of css and less4j compiles it into regular css. It adds several dynamic features into css: variables, expressions, nested rules.
Less4j is a port. The original compiler was written in JavaScript and is called less.js. The less language is mostly defined in less.js documentation/issues and by what less.js actually do. Links to less.js:
* home page: http://lesscss.org/
* source code & issues: https://github.com/cloudhead/less.js
