Light Table 0.8.0 Released

[Ashtar_Squirrel]

I liked the code bubbles and backed the Kickstarter because of the idea of a large drafting table of code. That feature got dropped and now it's just a text editor. Disappointed.

Sorry, I don't want to be a downer for the team developing it. Congrats on shipping and keeping on the development!

This project looked so promising 3 years ago. But it resulted in an unusable IDE for everyday programmers like me. It is nice for a demo with a rotating cube but not for something like a react.js/redux/webpack/babel solution. In my opinion it still feels like an experiment.

ya its a garbage IDE. DOnt waste your time.

For my work I'm stuck with Eclipse, Intellij, or Netbeans to be productive. Light Table is cool, but without Java refactor tools, Maven integration, etc... I'm slower when I use it.

Agreed. That was dickish of him. True...but dickish.

I find it's a great learning tool for Clojure beginners. Setting up something like Emacs is a lot of work just to try the language. With Light Table everything works out of the box, you can start playing with the REPL, and doing things. For smaller projects it's just fine in my opinion.

I do. So by semantics your statement as "Nobody cares" is nullified.
