Light Table is a new open source interactive IDE written in ClojureScript that lets you modify running programs and embed anything from websites to games.
It provides the real time feedback needed to not only answer questions about our code, but to understand how programs really work.
Light Table is based on a very simple idea: we need a real work surface to code on, not just an editor and a project explorer.
Features include:
- Organised around behaviors, objects and tags.
- Full set of editor commands from codemirror.
- Inline docs and doc search.
- High level of real-time evaluation and visualization.
- Real time feedback offering instant execution, debugging and access to documentation.
- Behaviors system.
- Plugin infrastructure.
- Watches – offer an instarepl-like experience that is driven by your code executing normally in your program.
- CLI for OS X and Linux.
