I might have overlooked it, but it doesn't seem to say which OS Light Table will run on?
I would back it up for Linux, for example, but a Windows version wouldn't be useful for me.
- ibdknox 14y agoIt'll support windows/linux/mac
- pluies_public 14y agoThanks for the quick reply ibdknox! It might be useful to include it on the kickstarter page too?
- danielpal 14y agoThis is too much. I've never seen an editor that runs well on the 3 of them. If you had said Mac or just Linux, I could believe you. I am really interested, but I am afraid of this becoming vaporware.
- mds101 14y agoYou should try out Sublime Text. I have used it on all three platforms and it works pretty much the same on all of them.
- teejae 14y agoAgreed. One reason I use it is BECAUSE it runs the same across all platforms, and is the slickest editor on all of them. I do development in multiple OS/environments daily.

- esmevane 14y agoAre you saying that Sublime Text doesn't run well on Windows? I know it runs just fine on Mac and Linux.
- sirclueless 14y agoWell, Sublime Text 1.x was only for Windows and was unique for rendering with DirectX, so one would hope it runs just fine there.
- lordlicorice 14y agoChiming in that it works wonderfully on Windows, although I had some problems with font rendering being ugly. Maybe it's just that I don't use ClearType, but I had to change some of the font options to get a result I'm happy with. "font_face": "droid sans mono", "font_options": [ "subpixel_antialias" ],
- esmevane 14y agoAh, okay. I was about to say originally that it is entirely cross-platform, then I realized there was some qualitative language in the parent post and wondered if maybe the Windows flavor was just flawed somehow. Thanks!
- frio 14y agoIgnoring the usual "vim", "emacs" etc., do try Sublime Text 2, if all you're after is an editor. So far it's proved unfailingly excellent for me :). FWIW Chris stated in a previous post that Lighttable would be built on embedding CodeMirror, which, being web-based, should make creating cross-platform builds much easier.
- politician 14y agoHear, hear on ST2. I don't have to do anything more than let people see me use it before they switch.
- kami8845 14y agoI've been using Emacs for months both on Linux and Windows and it runs much smoother on Linux, its' intended habitat.
- lordlicorice 14y agoIt's not just an editor. I use it for Python development. There's a plugin that uses Rope to give you completion, go to function definition, etc: https://github.com/JulianEberius/SublimeRope https://github.com/JulianEberius/SublimeRope
- phob 14y agoVim and Emacs seem to work fine if you have Gnu's win32 tools.
- angrycoder 14y agoVim, emacs, sublime, Komodo, gedit, jedit... And that is just off the top of my head.
- getsat 14y ago>implying cross-platform gui toolkits don't exist
- edsrzf 14y agoSince it will build on top of CodeMirror, I assume it will run on any OS that supports a modern browser.
- lbotos 14y agoI think it will be browser-based. He mentioned using codemirror in his post here: http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/04/15/light-tables-numbers/ http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/04/15/light-tables-numbers...
