Any idea what happened to Chris Granger and the original LightTable/Eve plans? If I am not mistaken they took some VC money right? How did that work out? Would be really interested to hear their story and lessons learned.
Aside from that I was a big LightTable fan and really enjoyed its inline instarepl and other features, so it is definitely great to see that LT is not completely forgotten! Kudos!
I just watched a recording of a talk Chris gave a few months ago. It's a retrospective about building Lighttable/Aurora/Eve. If you were interested in the project(s) I suspect you'll find it interesting.
Thanks, will definitely watch!
LightTable and its instarepl definitely inspired me but as time went I somehow lost track of the project. Inspired by LightTable I even created an instarepl for java and clojure workflows in my pet project (titanoboa.io). So definitely will watch his talks as I might even face similar struggles (albeit in slightly different area/industry).
I think the Light Table guys inspired many people to work on this stuff. As an investor of LightTable/Eve mentioned in the video I was pretty inspired by these guys too. I am now working on my own Cloud editor, at yazz.com
Hi, author of the post here, LightTable is cool, right?
Yeah, I'm trying to get the inline code evaluation and instarepl features working on new updates.
I'm glad you asked it. It's in my future plan. It shouldn't be much hard. I would like to pursue it after of course getting LT stable(and maybe with some funding).
