Java being required means this is a complete non-starter for me.
How would you like them to run clojure, a JVM based language?
Maybe once Light Table is somewhat stable, someone can hack it to use ClojureCLR for the benefit of the security-conscious Windows users :)
I really should get involved in open source projects.
Hi, 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.

Seems like you can use any browser you'd like by going to: http://localhost:8833/ once the server is up and running.
Thank you, that's cool! How can I kill the server, though?
light server stop
light table
light server start | stop | restart
light update [version]

There is an official, up-to-date ("within a week or so of milestones on Clojure main") .NET port at https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr Maybe once Light Table is somewhat stable, someone can hack it to use ClojureCLR for the benefit of the security-conscious Windows users :) I really should get involved in open source projects.
Haven't had much experience with it myself, it has been a while since I've played with Clojure.
Who 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.
"It's Playtime" has zero informative value. At least with the edit I now know it's about Light Table, and can click or skip as necessary and not waste any cycles guessing, or clicking and finding it's something I'm not interested in.
Uninformative titles are a plague. Concrete titles (and concrete language in general, but that's a whole nother blog post) are always better than vague ones, no matter how catchy, cutesy, or kitschy you may think it is.

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 ;)
I know that's why people use mysterious titles, but trust me - that's done, it's over, it's the old and busted of social news.
It's one of those things that may have worked when social news was new and interesting and still a novelty, and people would click all sorts of stuff wily-nily just to see what neat treasure lies underneath.
But we're all over that, and now what we're dealing with is information overload - how to manage the signal:noise ratio in the information we consume and maximize the signal.
The expectation of informative titles is a key part of that, so all mysterious titles do now now is piss people off for making them click to see what the article was about, instead of just telling them in the submission title, which is what it's for.
You as a submitter (or advertiser, I've seen studies on this for SEM) are much better served writing a concrete, informative title. You may have less clickthroughs (but sometimes more - specifics are very effective), but every single one of them will be someone interested in whatever you linked to (or are selling, in the latter case), more likely to read, buy, participate, etc., and less likely to close the window annoyed at having been tricked into wasting a few seconds and attention on something they don't care about.
Is there any interesting piece of code that might help me see this working to its true potential? I tried the factorial function expecting it to show all the recursive calls. What can I expect to see here? Call trace over multiple functions? EDIT: Just tried this , atleast this shows the last calls made to the functions (defn my-add [a b] (+ a b)) (defn fact[x] (if ( (my-add (fact (my-add 3 3)) (fact (my-add 2 5))) -…
Try to fix fib by changing a, b and i values:
(defn fib [n]
(loop [a 1, b 1, i 1]
(if (= i n)
a
(recur b (+ a b) (inc i)))))
(= (fib 0) 0)
(= (fib 1) 1)
(= (fib 2) 1)
(= (fib 3) 2)
(= (fib 4) 3)
(= (fib 10) 55)I'm trying to (require 'http.async.client)
