A new Light Table experience

I'd absolutely love to see ruby in Light Table, how are plans looking for this? If there was a kickstarter for adding ruby I'd pony up in a flash. I realise manpower is probably going to be the main issue though...

Python is first. It was already paid for in the kickstarter...

Back of the line Ruby!

Manpower is an issue, but we've gotten a lot of requests for Ruby in the future. When and where Ruby support will come is still unknown, but do know that we hear you! :)

I think this would be the right place to bring this up: Is language support backed in or can everyone write a plug-in for his language? Implementing highlighting, completion and repl for all the different languages users could want seems like an enormous task. At the same time this is where Emacs shines: supporting a new language rudimentary is easy to do, adding more advanced support isn't too hard either. Will users be able to define new language modes?
