A lot of people are mentioning Python support. I just wanted to put in my vote that Python support will be the thing that gets me to download and try this. It looks awesome but it'll be so much easier for me to relate to if there's a supported language I'm already productive in. I'd like to learn some lisp-likes, but learning a new and innovative IDE at the same time is a bit more to bite off than I have for at one time.

What languages are supported right now? I keep forgetting and all the images are showing clojure. Anyone know if there's any plans for haskell?

  I believe the first supported languages will be Clojure and Javascript, followed by Python.

Python is not cool enough for this :) I want Ruby support!!

  Python is a great language and anything that Ruby can do Python can do as well.

    So does ASM, and VB6. all languages can do the same (mostly, with some effort), the question is the developer, not the language. a good developer with a bad language can do more than a bad developer with a great language.

      Sure, but besides some small design and stylistic differences, Python and Ruby are extremely similar, in almost every way.

        Except not at all?

        Compare each to C, Haskell, Prolog, Lisp. They suddenly appear very similar.

They promised on kickstarter to have Python the 3rd language if they reach the 300K goal. (they reached it). http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table
