I haven't followed the discussions much before, but will this support Android development sometime in the future?

  Why exactly would you want support for Android development? As far as I understand, LightTable's target are languages which doesn't already have the tools they're offering (dynamic scripting languages like JS, python etc). The existing Android dev tools already have all the features that LightTable is bringing to them. We already have those in Eclipse, we don't need LightTable. Only the dynamic languages with poor tooling does. (If you're an Android developer who misses some of the features of LightTable, you should look for some tutorials at www.eclipse.org, you'll learn eclipse can already do those and much more)

    If Eclipse encompassed what LightTable wants to achieve, one would only have to write a plugin... I think its trying to be something completely different...
