I really love the way, i can test coljuresnippets. Its really amazing and a really good expirience in debugging!

Tested this on linux and a windowsmachine.

On Windows, is there a way to quit, without deleting the process? - Lighttable get started in the background. Is there a shortcut for shutting down lighttable?

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

VimClojure https://github.com/vim-scripts/VimClojure is something similar for vim. LightTable seems to focus on showing execution trace which isn't always desirable(a function that delete files, gets file over the network, does a lengthy computation etc). VimClojure provides you completions, repl, looking up doc, going to source etc.

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))) -…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

TMI.

You are of course free to use or not use anything you like, but the above sounds entitled and self-centered. At this point, who the duck cares if YOU are "never gonna use a closed source browser"?

It's a post about a new editor in a pre-pre-alpha stage. Something like "Seems to be requiring Chrome. Why such a restriction?" would be far better, no entitlement, no open/closed source zealotry, not tied to specific personal preferences regarding source license, etc.
