Light Table 0.7.0

Anyone know of a good update to the discussion that happened here? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3874324 I'm curious how the concept of light table has stacked up against reality in the past year.

Out of curiosity I just downloaded it and tried it out on a JS project I am working on. To me the biggest and most interesting feature is the evaluation of code anywhere, so I decided to try that. Aside from it needing a browser to do anything with JS I noticed that it generated a bunch of errors when I tried to evaluate a block of code. Maybe it is awesome for clojure, but for JS I think it has a long way to go. Back to webstorm for me.

I've been using JS eval fine. Feel free to open an issue on https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable/issues as described in https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable/blob/master/CONTRIB...

What errors did you get? Was it connected to a page that had your code loaded already?

If you eval a html file it will open it in a local webkit tab. You can then use that connection to eval js. A lot of the js tooling works better with the local connection too since it can directly hook into the devtools instead of having to send json over a websocket.
