Light Table - a new IDE concept
Incredible IDE UI design and prototype by Chris Granger.
“Light table is based on a few guiding principles:
- You should never have to look for documentation
- Files are not the best representation of code, just a convenient serialization.
- Editors can be anywhere and show you anything - not just text.
- Trying is encouraged - changes produce instaneous results
- We can shine some light on related bits of code”
