It would be great to get a common lisp supported in Light Table...

This is a huge release - so many awesome new features. The Python integration alone has been one of the things I've been waiting for to really dive into Light Table and give it a spin for longer than 10 minutes.

Congrats to the Light Table team!

Very impressive demo.

So happy to finally see python support.

What is used for the javascript rendering? I assume since they are using the chrome dev tools they are embedding chromium into Lighttable?

I look forward to writing (essentially vim-) plugins for light table in javascript. Some day soon?

Extensions were mentioned on the blog about a year ago (http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/04/15/light-tables-numbers...), but as far as I can tell, they're still not here yet :(

They've written in the past that the UI is essentially a webview, so I think that's a fair assessment

edit: also, I've successfully nuked the app at least once by evaluating document.write (or similar) in the IDE. heh

People still use common lisp? ducks

In all seriousness, the plugin architecture will certainly allow for exactly that to happen. If you're interested in trying your hand at adding CL, I know a guy who could probably sneak you into the beta when it turns private ;)

Hard to tell until they release the source code (which is supposed to happen after the 0.4 release). The whole UI is actually rendered HTML using WebKit or a derivative for sure.

hmm… no mention of search/replace? Whatever, I'll try it anyway.
