I find it interesting that Light Table's delay is largely blamed on YC. It seems kind of strange to me that after having raised a large amount of funds from one source, you'd risk pissing off those investors in order to secure a smaller amount of funds from a second source.

Light Table isn’t late.

The tentative plan is to release a full beta around the turn of the year and have an official launch May of next year. As it stands currently, it will include all the things I've shown in the video for both JavaScript and Clojure, but should we continue to get more funding we can add even more.

YC is not about the money. It's about the reputation and support you get.
