This is exciting news, I was a Kickstarter backer, but I've been holding off on giving it a solid try until some features like multi-cursors were added.

I'm guessing you are talking about the visual feedback/debugging with Swift and Xcode? If I were a betting man, I'd guess that these ideas are too useful to be unique, and that we will start to see them more. Also, I think that the LT team had said that they couldn't achieve as much feedback as they wanted to without developing a new language (that I'm guessing is a bit more progressive than Swift) in order to allow…
Yeah, we're working on something much more interesting than Swift, which while cool appears to be just more of the same thing we have now. We've questioned a lot of assumptions and come up with a system that is very different than the way we tend to think of programming currently. The benefits you get from going outside of that box are pretty crazy and we're working furiously to get to the point where we can start sh…
These are certainly some bold claims, love the confidence and excited to see what you guys have up your sleeves. Hadn't heard you all were working on anything outside of Light Table.

#13Highlights for the TLDR crowd: multiple cursors and improved editor performance. I know many of our users/contributors are from here so thanks to all of you for the awesome involvement we've seen. You guys rock :)
I haven't used either but they seem pretty similar, how does atom compare to light table?
One of the two doesn't come with Google analytics automatically included and enabled by default to track your editor usage. I'll let you wonder which of the two.

#14Is it possible that LT got leapfrogged by Apple a couple of minutes ago?
If you only want to write Swift, yeah. LT is supporting Python, JS, Clojure and ClojureScript. (And others?) And I don't know anything about editor extensibility in Xcode in general or Playgrounds in particular.
Language support can be added via plugins. For instance, here's a Perl plugin: https://github.com/utsukushii/LT-Perl

Some of the design goals for the new language (which seems to be called Aurora) are outlined in a recent post on the Light Table blog. Definitely some exciting stuff.

I have searched for "ga.js" & "analytics" in the Ligttable repository, nothing came up. So I assume you mean it's Atom that comes with GA tracking enabled by default.

Awesome, I must have missed this, thanks for the link!

There may be an extension for emacs or vim that will do what you want so that you don't have to try any of them.
