Light Table is a next generation code editor that connects you to your creation with instant feedback. Light Table is very customizable and can display anything a Chromium browser can. This is a development branch and is not clean like master and can have many breakages. Prebuilt binaries are available through lighttable.com. To build and use a developer version of Light Table see these instructions. In Finder, Ctrl-click on LightTable.app/ and select Open. When you see this prompt about LightTable being unidentified, click Open. If Ctrl-click doesn't work for you, open System Preferences Security & Privacy General, temporarily change "Allow apps downloaded from:" to Anywhere and double click on LightTable.app. See docs.lighttable.com for official user documentation and tutorials. See the community wiki which includes a User FAQ and a For Users page for additional links. For a typical Light Table workflow, read this. To understand how Light Table works, read about its BOT architecture. See Light Table's API docs to see what plugin authors have access to. If you're a user coming from vim or emacs see the For Vim Users and For Emacs Users guides. Light Table has a powerful plugin system that allows almost any aspect of the editor to be extended and customized. With over 100+ plugins, the community is able to offer eval support for new languages, create domain-specific IDEs and much more. If you're interested in writing your own plugin, see the Write a Plugin and Submit a Plugin docs. For an example ClojureScript plugin, see LightTable-Declassifier. LightTable is primarily written in ClojureScript. If you aren't familiar with it, check out David Nolen's tutorial.

LightTable是一个采用ClojureScript编写的可扩展的集成开发环境(IDE)。它由Chris Granger和Robert Attorri开发,具有实时运行反馈、调试和搜索文档的功能。即时反馈功能提供了一个不同寻常的运行环境来让程序员构建抽象。 开发团队尝试创造一个能使程序员及时获知程序运行状态的软件。该软件一开始只支持Clojure语言,但现在通过众多扩展,也能够支持Python和JavaScript语言。 该项目有Kickstarter资助,后来又由Y Combinator公司资助。Kickstarter本来预计众筹20万美元,但最后筹得316,720美元。
