A quick search failed me but I am pretty sure my question has been discussing elsewhere, in which case I would appreciate a redirect/summary. Is there a difference between LightTable and Emacs' eval-last-sexp and similar functions? What is LightTable supposed to add? besides support for Clojure.

#32Nice work, Chris! I can't wait to start learning Clojure with it.
Re: It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released
#33First of all, I'm using Linux and it opened on Firefox instead of Chromium. Secondly, it seemed quite slow, and I can't use Ctrl+Shift+Up to select a paragraph above and Ctrl+Shift+Down to do the same to the paragraph below, like on Emacs. Either way, the live interpretation of Clojure code looks really great, keep on working and good luck!
For Linux the script is doing "if chrome, else if firefox". Better to use xdg-open.
So it's looking for Chrome, a closed source browser that I'd never use, instead of Chromium. Too bad.

#34Hey, I can't figure out how to get this thing to work with C#. What the heck?
j/k. Thanks, for the preview, guys.

#35Is there an easy way to get the editor to evaluate a different language? It's just I don't really use lisp but would like to try it out properly. I've tried poking about int he ./light script but don't see anything. Fantastic software by the way. Could really see this having a big impact on a lot of people's development style.
Light Table is also being developed for Javascript and Python; but this alpha/early version is Clojure-only.

#36Who thought "It's Playtime" was a better title for this than "Light Table Playground released"? Why does this keep happening to Light Table posts?
Edit: Now "It's playtime - Light Table Playground released", after ibdknox altered the blog title. So... success?
I still think it's ridiculous, though.

#37I'm really hoping someone makes something similar to this for Vim.

I don't know, but it's starting to make me sad. It doesn't seem to fall under the "editorial spin" guidelines - if anything it was clarification.
Hopefully the mystery will bring more people in? haha ;)

Uggh. I'm very interested in LightTable but probably wouldn't have clicked on that one, unless it got to 300 points or so.
