Any idea when we can expect first traces of python support?

  ...or JavaScript support, for that matter. Editing JS files seems to work, including syntax highlighting, but I didn't find any way to connect the instarepl to other "projects" than Clojure

  From memory python was the last item on the roadmap. Wasn't it an added extra if they got over a certain amount in the kickstarter project (which I think they reached). Ah, actually, looking at the project [0] it says "Python will be the third language to be supported out of the gate" [0] http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table

  You might want to check out ipython notebook: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/interactive/htmlnotebook.html http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/interactive/htmlnotebook.... and http://ipython.org/videos.html http://ipython.org/videos.html It's a pretty awesome interactive Python environment.

    I have IPython. I want Light Table as well :)

    In fact, IPython has a notion of a kernel, a process speaking a documented protocol over ZeroMQ to execute code, provide tab completions, and so on. The way LightTable talks about 'starting a client' makes me wonder if it could use IPython to provide some of those features.
