History suggests otherwise.

it's one thing to be short sighted, and another to be realistic given a bevy of similar past projects that went nowhere. When was the last time you heard about Lighttable?



The Lighttable team realized they were on the wrong path. Eventually, the semantics of imperative languages are completely at odds with the goals of a supercharged development environment like this. That's why they pivoted to Eve: http://github.com/witheve/eve

I'm sure the Carbide guys will figure that out on their own.


LightTable started as a clojure/-script IDE which are not imperative but functional languages.


the question isn't when I last heard of lighttable. the question is what people, ideas, programs, and concepts has it inspired?

"have no interest" and "use the IDE" are not the only two possible reactions here.
