#62I was highly surprised this worked for Snow Leopard and it being almost 2 releases old. Nice job.
A fair number of people were still on Snow Leopard (because Lion is a bit of a disaster), so we were very intentional about making that work.

#63Random, but does anybody know what color scheme his colors are based on? I'd love to crib that for Vim.
Not completely what you are looking for, but I found a Chris Granger inspired vim theme: https://github.com/chmllr/vim-colorscheme-elrodeo

#64I 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!
Not quite, Granger committed to making a Python version in the Kickstarter.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
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. [0] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4102013
I think PG did comment on a subsequent post asking why post on subject[0] was taken down. I am not sure if commenting on a soon-to-be-killed post constitutes an official comment though, perhaps it was decided there is no need since according to policy meta-concerns should be dealt with using email.

#66Java being required means this is a complete non-starter for me.
Re: It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released
#67First 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!
It seems as if every single key press, whether or not it affects the output (for example, writing in a comment or hitting enter to reorganize and space out code) causes every single function to be evaluated again.
You can test this out by adding something like this...
(time (+ 1 1))
...and start typing in a comment on a new line and seeing how the elapsed time that is outputted changes on every single key press. Performance optimizations are probably not as important right now, but that's something that can be improved.
Still, as a basic test of the concept, it looks pretty interesting overall and I can see myself using this. As long as the idea is sound, everything else can be improved over time. Keep it up!

#68Hi, I'm a beginner programmer, I've played around with learning Lisp various time & just started the 4clojure problems. I was having issues getting a nice workflow going & getting diverted with IDE issues etc. This is wonderful. Thanks.

#69Java being required means this is a complete non-starter for me.
Do you have an ideological or practical opposition? Java is cross-platform enough for it not to be an issue. Are you memory-constrained?
Re: It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released
#70Nice color scheme. Anyone know of a similar theme for emacs?
