Love it. As someone who's only played around with Clojure, it's a wonderful tool for learning / refreshing.

Re: It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released
#52Who 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.
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 ;)
It's either an auto-renaming script or a human with the personality of an auto-renaming script.

#53I understand you're working fast and it's early. But not providing hashes and using a two stage downloader and not using ssl and using auto updates and not using code signing means that your app will now be the weakest link in terms of security for all but the worst configured computers. While it's almost certain no one is targeting you or your users now, that could change when people see such a weakness or could lea…
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I'd appreciate either signed packages or SSL, otherwise this is very, very insecure.

If anyone is going to update their software manually, surely it's going to be HN/code editor users (I know I do). And anyway, it's a preview release that people won't be using as their main editor anyway. Install, play around, uninstall.

It's early and we honestly didn't think down those lines. Ultimately, the deployment mechanism will look different than this, but this was the path of least resistance. At the very least though we can do a few of these things to remove some of the danger - we'll get on it.

#57I used it and it's not bad at all for a "playtime". But since I've no idea how to write code in Closure, it's not useful for me. What I want is a Python version. A Python enabled Light Table would definitely replace Python's REPL for me.
Better start coding!

It's either an auto-renaming script or a human with the personality of an auto-renaming script.
My current hypothesis is that it's an individual moderator (perhaps showing off) running a script without official sanction, hence the silence from the admins.
The way the post on the subject[0] was buried without official comment after over 500 upvotes suggests a certain amount of institutional blindness.
