Hmm, I can not find that neat functions drag-drop layout from video...

Actually we haven't implemented replace yet. There's a few things like that that will either end up in 0.4.* releases or 0.5 at the latest.

Also, multi-line selection, please? =) That's probably the main thing that's keeping me in ST2 right now...

I dream of the day Light Table has Go support.

I wrote about this recently in post about future startup ideas [1]. Go is young and building an IDE along with its evolution would be amazing. LightTable might be very successful with that, but I imagine the more exciting place for Go IDE experiments could be Android and tablets. As multicore mobile takes over, I think a few years out apps in Go might be a popular thing; and building software on the target platform hasn't happened much with mobile yet. AIDE [2] is really really amazing, but it's not quite the revolution that I'm looking for. I'm quite excited for where this goes.

I am very excited to play with Python eval on Light Table. I am on Windows. Python PATH is not set. So I had set it in Command-line. cmd was able to execute Python, but light-table is not able to detect Python PATH. How can I set Python PATH in Light Table on Windows?

Very cool! Its great to see this progressing at such a fast rate, and I'm glad I got the chance to be a part of the Kickstarter. Are there any plans for Ruby support? I know Python was first as it was the stretch goal, but Ruby has been mentioned in passing a couple of times.

I really want to use this, but unfortunately the performance is still painfully lacking. Excited for this to get a little further along and more stable.

I will be watching Light Table much more closely after finally seeing the Python support. Awesome work!

I have to admit it, I never expected Light Table to be able to reach this point. Kudos to anyone involved.

I'm not near any machines of mine that aren't Chromebooks. Does anyone know if the libudev.so.0 stuff is fixed? I don't see any mention of it in the change log, but I was really hoping they would have a fix for those of us not on Ubuntu so we don't have to symlink the new libudev.so.1 to so.0 just to use light table (yes other hacks exist, this was the most prevalent one...)

unforunately no. It's an issue carried over from node-webkit[1] and I'm not really a Linux guy :/ Someone could work on a fix for node-webkit, though and I'd pick it up in a heartbeat
