Comment on Light Table funding successful, including Python support (over $300k raised)parent

Comments

Depending on how its Clojure support is implemented, LightTable may be usable for ClojureScript projects, and thus allow developers to target browsers and NodeJS (and other JS runtimes).

Do a search for "Pluggable Backend Infrastructure for ClojureScript, and Development of a Lua backend" and you should turn up a Google Summer of Code 2012 project which seeks to broaden the scope of the ClojureScript compiler. If that project is successful, and if LightTable supports ClojureScript, the IDE's reach may be greatly expanded in the relatively near term.

Sure, but you still need to use Clojure, which is very unlikely to be of use to the average programmer.

I somewhat doubt he's targeting the average programmer.
