Random, but does anybody know what color scheme his colors are based on? I'd love to crib that for Vim.

They're using CodeMirror for the in-browser editor and that's the default theme: https://github.com/marijnh/CodeMirror2/blob/master/lib/codem...

the parts that affect clojure have been changed a fair bit from the default theme.

It works perfectly on mac. Great work Chris, this demo gave me a sense of an Apple product "it just works", i typed in code and immediately it just worked.

Click the full-screen view. While this is of course a purely aesthetic impression, the clean-slate feeling is wonderful.

Thanks for considering Windows user in this release.

Heads up, just sent an e-mail to feedback, with an error on starting up the system on powershell. Not sure if it's my environment or not.

You first need to allow remote scripts to be executed with: set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Then you have to "Unblock" the downloaded ps1 file (Properties, click Unblock at the bottom).

Next you have to make sure that java.exe is in your path. After that you are good to go!

For me, the issue was trying to load Light Table via the 64-bit version of PowerShell. Switching to the x86 version (and setting the remote code signing) had me working in no time.

I'll check on this, I use 64bit powershell and 64bit jvm.

I somehow fail to see how it does something useful for recursive functions.

Clojure in general prefers the loop/recur construct over real recursion. You still can't see each iteration of the loop, though; perhaps that's what you meant by useful.
