Did you apply to YC, or were you invited to YC? (I am curious how the process works for startups that already have significant traction before joining YC. Humble Bundle comes to mind.)

We had actually applied previously with a totally different idea, but then Light Table blew up and we resubmitted late.

I haven't seen Nathan talking about LT much. I'm assuming he's on the team from your previous YC attempt, am I correct? I was going to congratulate both of you, but I wasn't 100% sure.

Actually it's with another friend from high school :) He's dealing with trying to move out here right now, but you'll be seeing him a lot more - ibdthor is his username.

I haven't followed the discussions much before, but will this support Android development sometime in the future?

Does this mean Python support in version 1 is more or less likely?

The end of Chris' post a week ago hints at Python support. What makes a hissing sound other than a python? http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/05/12/we-made-it/

Now, if only YC can invest in TextMate so that we can have 2.0!

TextMate 2 came out a while ago. It changed its name to "Sublime Text 2" and it is awesome.

I'd always been curious about what needs to happen for a late application to be accepted. Thanks for the transparency!

When we realized that multiple YC partners had already independently contributed to the Kickstarter project because they wanted to use Light Table themselves, it was not a hard decision.

My question too. I backed Light Table with the hope they would hit the Python milestone.

I won't back them based on a maybe. We'll talk again when python support becomes more than a teaser :)
