Just to be clear, I'm not advocating giving up the filesystem :) I wholeheartedly agree that too much work has been done there to just forsake the toolchain, but that doesn't mean you can't creatively compromise to get the best of both wor

I've worked at tech companies of virtually every size, from MSFT to startups with < 5 people, as a dude with a German degree. Having been involved with hiring at many of these companies and now hiring for my own, I can say that it matte

Very neat. It seems to me the really interesting bit here is the ability to add execution meaning to arbitrary bits of text. Can anyone who uses Acme comment on whether or not that is primarily what gives Acme its power? Is there something

He's a great and very smart guy - definitely take advantage of his time while you have it. His work on the core.logic and ClojureScript has been a serious boon to the community.

I know both David Nolen and Alex Payne - they are fantastic engineers and awesome people to be around. If nothing else, I highly recommend people apply just to have a chance to interact with them :)

In John's post he mentions that doing hotswapping is very hard, but that hasn't been my experience so far. Can you by chance expound a bit on what makes/made it so difficult?

Correct, it'll be dual licensed.

Light Table will be released open source under the GPL - just like emacs.

How would you try warehouse software, a wireless network, or a developer tool? A number of the companies that presented yesterday are not easily try-able and some that simply wouldn't appeal to this demographic in any meaningful way.

interestingly, we intentionally didn't show a graph, nor did we actually say any of our numbers when we presented yesterday. Our goal was to tell a story about why what we were doing mattered and I think that resonated really well with inve

the reason it fails is because it's looking for an artifact that doesn't exist: Caused by: org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.MultipleArtifactsNotFoundException: Missing: 1) org.clojure.contrib:prxml:jar:1.3.0-alpha4 Try downlo

It will, we just haven't gotten to those things yet :)

1. yeah, I didn't think about international keyboards. I'll have to come up with something there. 2. just pushed a fix for that 3. Click anywhere outside the box and it'll close. I'll make that more explicit :)

done. Thanks for the suggestion! (Side note, the real thing is called "Light Table" too, no light boxes here :)

It does indeed, but we punted on including CLJS in this release because we didn't have enough time to test it. It should make it into the next release though :)

by ibdknox 14y ago
We don't actually disagree - I said just before that that we need to push it into the culture :) The way to do that is to make beautiful docs the norm, which is what I tried to add to Noir and Korma. And you're right, it is really hard, but

The goal is that with the next couple releases of the Light Table playground, you'll get the "I just double click this" kind of experience. You won't have to know what lein is, it'll be somewhat of an implementation detail.

My hope is that we can do some really good things to help two of the biggest complaints here: Tooling and Documentation. On the tooling side, the next version of the Light Table Playground will be even more friendly than the previous one an

Light Table won't ultimately be in the "browser" - it will be in a wrapped webview. The experience on mac right now is that you have a standalone app just like you would with sublime et. al. Once we get some time, the same will be true for

core.logic is a truly amazing addition to the Clojure ecosystem.

unfortunately about 80% of the Light Table bit is wrong :(

My talk was actually done in Light Table itself, so there won't be slides up. Not sure when they're going to put the videos up - I'll see if I can find out.

I'm about as far away from a "coffeehouse-MBA" as you can be haha :D Sorry though, the point wasn't to inundate people with things they didn't have the context to understand. One thing to keep in mind is that this is an update to something

Yeah, there's a ton to learn about how all this should and needs to work. Spreading ourselves across supporting the basics of multiple languages this early means our rate of learning decreases dramatically. We're using Clojure to prove a bu

Yeah screwed up in some renaming. Try lein-light 0.0.4
