Initial Impressions of Light Table IDE

Light Table is a programming integrated development environment (IDE). But it’s a little different compared to what is currently out there. The author, +Chris Granger, has focused on what we are creating rather than getting to the creation. If that concept doesn’t quite make sense in your head, don’t worry. It’s visual. Think real-time flow of your program. If you want to watch how a value changes as it moves through your program you can see it in real-time. Bret Victor gave a great talk on the idea called Inventing on Principle. Light Table extends this concept and the roadmap for development has a lot of nifty fun features of programmers.
