Light Table is anintegrated development environment forsoftware engineering developed by Chris Granger and Robert Attorri. It features real-time feedback allowing instant execution, debugging and access to documentation.[7] The instant feedback provides an execution environment intended to help developingabstractions.[8]
The development team attempted to create a program which shows the programmer what the effects of their additions are in real-time, rather than requiring them to work out the effects as they write the code.[9] Though the program began by supporting onlyClojure, it has since aimed to supportPython andJavaScript.[8] The developers claim that the software can reduce programming time by up to 20%.[8]
It was financed by aKickstarter fundraising campaign and subsequently backed byY Combinator.[10] The Kickstarter campaign aimed to raise $200,000 USD and finished with $316,720 USD.[9]
