LightTable 0.5.5 released
- DigitalJack 13y ago0.5.6 is out now: quote: ##0.5.6 * FIX: handle massive numbers of messages from nrepl without blocking * ADDED: Clojure prints can now stream, allowing you to (print) and see the result without flushing. (print ..) now does what you'd expect :) https://groups.google.com/d/msg/light-table-discussion/ye29sja-BEs/_6iOi5DqM1UJ https://groups.google.com/d/msg/light-table-discussion/ye29s...
- bguthrie 13y agoAnyone out there spending any substantial part of their workflow in LT? Which languages? Would be curious to hear an experience report. I check in every once in a while to see how it's coming along. The 0.5 series seems nice and I was impressed by the instarepl, but have yet to spend any real time with the editor.
- _sh 13y agoI use it exclusively for all my clojure work and have been for a while. It works well, and especially shines with its REPL integration, and when paired with Leiningen. Chris really has done a great job at keeping things minimal and elegant. However, I use it because I'm a vim user and clojure has never had stellar support in vim (whereas Light Table--or rather CodeMirror's editor--has vim bindings). If you're an emacs user, Light Table might not offer anything over existing emacs tools.
- MBlume 13y agoCurious, have you tried vim-fireplace? I'm enjoying it a lot, though I haven't tried lighttable.

- cgag 13y agoQuite happy with vim/fireplace here, though I'm still pretty interested in lighttable.

- bguthrie 13y agoI've had the same experience with Clojure in vim, and that's great to hear. Thanks!
- tomasien 13y agoLightTable and the source material that inspired me mean a lot to me, but I don't use it because I'm a really conservative adopter of technology. HN: Do you use it and should I use it for my HTML/CSS/JS? As I understand it, Python but not Ruby is supported, but I could just keep using xCode or Coda for Ruby. What do you think?
- sillysaurus2 13y agoGenuine question: Is there a big advantage using an editor designed for HTML/CSS/JS? I do all my web work using straight Vim, but maybe I'm being a luddite... What am I missing out on?
- pekk 13y agoLive preview would be one big thing.
- bgar 13y agoWhat doing web-dev is just edit in vim using Syntastic[1], and a couple other[2][3] useful plugins. 1: https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic.git https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic.git 2: https://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript.git https://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript.git 3: https://github.com/digitaltoad/vim-jade https://github.com/digitaltoad/vim-jade

- smrtinsert 13y agoThere was a vid floating around where you could edit the js and the browser could see the changes without a browser refresh. They were interacting with the code in realtime via the browser api. Great stuff. I wish LT had more workflow vids as it tries hard to know hard to be a next gen editor it can be a little difficult to find the cool features.

- phren0logy 13y agoI'm impressed by how LightTable works with iPython to provide a good environment for data analysis, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and wishing that the stars will align to see LT be the go-to environment for Julia. They are both early projects, and seem to be a fantastic complement to one another. Julia also is able to talk to the iPython notebook backend, so I don't think this would be so difficult. I only wish I had the time and expertise to do it myself. https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl
- jchendy 13y agoDo you prefer Light Table over IPython Notebook for data analysis?
- phren0logy 13y agoI'm not sure yet, but I think so. I need to spend some more time with LightTable, but I think it has the potential to cover all the ground the notebook does but with a nicer interaction style (more keyboard-driven).
- elyase 13y agoDoes LT evaluate expressions as you type in python or you still have to submit each line to the interpreter?
- ibdknox 13y agoI actually spoke briefly with Stefan at the very beginning of LT about how Julia could fit really nicely. It's something I'd like to see myself when the plugin stuff is released :)
- StefanKarpinski 13y agoThe IPython notebook protocol is a pretty good general protocol for remote REPLs. We're planning on making sure that the same essential API works for both the Julia command-line REPL and IJulia (there's some common functionality at the moment, but it could be factored better). I wonder how possible it would be for LightTable to interact smoothly with any IPython kernel.
- knodi 13y agoHow does LightTable work for Go? Anyone have any thoughts on it?
- leephillips 13y agoI really like this but don't use it because, although it has a vim mode, it's not really vim - as far as I can tell, you can't use your .vimrc or plugins. If vim could be somehow plugged in to this, that would be awesome.
- roryokane 13y agoI’d like to call out the Visual Studio extension VsVim (http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/59ca71b3-a4a3-46ca-8fe1-0e90e3f79329 http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/59ca71b3-a4a3-...) as doing a Vim emulation mode right. It actually does run your .vimrc, ignoring commands it doesn’t understand. So when I installed it, my custom mappings were already set up. But I think supporting Vim plugins is too much to ask for in any other environment. Often, the reason you’re using another environment is because it has great plugins of its own that you want to use. It would be a lot of work for little gain to make an editor support Vim-style plugins if it already has its own better way of writing plugins.
- cgag 13y agoThis guy does some nice clojure screencasts in light table and I think they show it if off pretty well, for people who are curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxE5wDbt964#t=3m00s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxE5wDbt964#t=3m00s (I don't have my headphones on me so I don't know what I cut out, but he starts using light table at ~3 minutes in). Edit: his intro to datomic is really good for anyone looking to get started with that
- easy_rider 13y agoI love the LightTable "waY". But unfortunately as an Eclipse user, it will probably take me a long time before I want to adopt it. Even though Eclipse is a bulky heap, You can make it so easily adept to whatever you want to program. Sub <0.5 LT versions have been disappointing / too buggy for me to seriously consider. I'm really looking for a LightTable way of a truly modular editor.. (That means without having to switch workspaces).
- mattdeboard 13y agoBased on Chris Granger's presentation at StrangeLoop I get the impression that he's moving on to something else now? The presentation was a little scattered so maybe I misinterpreted, but he sounded like he was starting over with some other thing that he didn't really give any details on.
- ibdknox 13y agoNope. What I presented there is a natural place for LT to end up eventually. :)
- mattdeboard 13y agoDidn't you end it with a new product name? I left the auditorium a little disappointed, I got a vague impression that LT wasn't living up to your expectations or something.
- ibdknox 13y agoThe project has a different name, but it's not divergent from LT, it's an extension of it. JS, Python, and even Clojure are far from the ideal for what we could be doing if we took the ideas behind LT to a logical extreme. What I showed is a very early example of what that might look like. My end goal is to "fix" programming, that talk was me explaining that it will take far more than what I originally showed in those first videos of Light Table - we'll have to think about the problem differently. That doesn't detract from the value of LT in any way, and I still believe it's out to fill a very important gap in the programming world. But filling a gap is just the first step, not the end of the line. And since we have the opportunity to push some boundaries and try to find something "better", I fully intend to do so. :) To be more explicit - LT is our focus and you'll see more and more of the thinking I expressed in my Strange Loop talk start to show in it over time.
- babs474 13y agoI interpreted it (aurora), as the next gen instarepl. A tool that helps you introspect running code and intermediate results, but more ambitious than just textual substitution of variable values. It would fit right in as a component of light table. I really liked how some of the inspiration came from how non programmers code. Think excel macros (gasp).
