Whenever I get the chance to use a spreadsheet, I really enjoy it. I find it really satisfying to set up cascading functions and see them update in real-time. I'd like to see that experience translated to general programming. I'd like to update code and see the unit tests update automatically, and an understandable representation of the objects being manipulated.

#42I really like the idea of seeing multiple functions (which might be in different files) on the same page at the same time. In Textmate it would be great to see the whole MVC of one function at once.

Re: Light Table - a new IDE concept
#47like was said in the article, a js in-browser implementation, if possible, would be great. Imagine being able to get back to your work from any computer of any kind, anywhere, without having to download any ides or set up remote debuggers or anything. a great idea that would be even better (and I think manageable) in the cloud
Re: Light Table - a new IDE concept
#48Very interesting, especially if multiple language support becomes part of it. Is making this a "generic" IDE a project goal?
I for one would be most interested in Python, and even SQL (for the docs / drafting table).

Editing complex functions in a spreadsheet is an absolute nightmare though. AS long as he doesn't recreate that part we are good :)
