About:
Light Table is a modular editor that features a plugin manager, inline evaluation, and a flexible interface. It provides real-time feedback by showing code results directly next to the code as you type. Its 'watch' feature allows for instant feedback on values as they change, streamlining the development workflow.
Key Features:
  • Inline code evaluation
  • Real-time feedback and watching
  • Plugin manager and flexible UI
  • Open source and community-driven
Use Cases:
  • Live programming and rapid prototyping
  • Learning new languages with immediate visual feedback
  • Clojure and JavaScript development
Alternatives:
  • VS Code – More widely adopted with a larger ecosystem, but lacks native inline evaluation
  • Atom – Similar extensible architecture, though Light Table focuses more on the 'live programming' paradigm
