I realise I am an outlier. That said I can always just manually refresh the browser window on the other screen which I currently do anyway.
I dont suppose anyone else has a method of dealing with this currently?
Looks great! Just confirmed matplotlib/pylab plotting working with Anaconda Python distribution. (To get LightTable to not use the system python, I had to go through some hoops... creating an environment.plist didn't seem to work.) The dot-completion seems like it still needs work, but it's pretty neat to have an alternative web-based REPL front-end to the IPython kernel than just IPython Notebook.
If you're looking for the same kind of live reload web editing, I have such a plugin for Vim: https://github.com/jaxbot/brolink.vim
For those of us still stuck in the Dark Ages, I have patched Light Table so it can run on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). You can download it here: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/lighttable/LightTable0.4....

I was actually suggesting that I can't believe people still use CL when Clojure exists... I await my lynching. :D
Well, since you threw that out there... ...I can't believe that people use Clojure-the-language over CL-the-language. It seems to have no reason to exist except as a "I hate parens" Lisp-1. The interesting parts of Clojure (i.e., the sequence abstraction design) are replicatable in CL as a library. Extant issues (e.g., cl's map not mapping over vectors)* can be abstracted over with other tools. While the JVM interop…
The interesting part of Clojure for me is that the sequence abstraction design is part of the standard language distribution and NOT implemented as an optional library.
The major flaw with Lisps is exactly the proliferation of competing, (and frequently half-arsed), custom solutions for stuff that should be built-in and used by all.
I'll take a slightly inferior implementation of something that's standard in a language's libs, over 20 competing solutions or rolling my own, any day of the week.

>Bluntly, I don't know why Clojure was created as a new language instead of an advanced library over Common Lisp I think you basically answered your own question :) >JVM interop is compelling
But the thing is, Armed Bear Common Lisp (ABCL) already offers JVM interop. If someone sat down and really massaged it, the currently clunky interop there could be just as shiny as Clojure.
Yes, a half-arsed, barely supported interop. And slow to top.

I rest my case.
Has anybody gotten the node.js connection working. I keep on getting 'In order to start a NodeJS client, you have to have node installed and on your system's PATH.' But, node is indeed installed, and in my $PATH. Running OSX with node v0.10.5
The node process exited.
The node process you were connected to suddenly quit. Check the console for more information.

Awesome thanks! Any features that don't work?

Can you elaborate on the "hoops"? I am trying to get a similar thing working.
I tried to create a ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file per the instructions here[1], but that didn't seem to work and I haven't bothered to fiddle with it more.

theres no command,key shortcut, and that little menu in the right corner isnt there on windows.
