Chris Granger demonstrates an interactive ClojureScript game editor inspired by Bret Victor's concept of instant feedback in programming.

A live ClojureScript game editor based on the demo that Bret Victor did in his "Inventing On Principle" talk. chris-granger.com/2012/02/26/connecting-to-your-creation/

I like interactive, but it seems to work well only if you can simulate the commandline well enough in the browser (like Codecademy does). If you do anything advanced, it has to be done really well. These are couple of good examples: link link to this video

On “Light Table reaches funding goal of $200k”

Hmm. I work with Eclipse a lot, but this is not just visual. Maybe I use something different but the way of organizing your methods on screen and the actual live coding I don't have in Eclipse. We're not talking 'debug' here; we're talking live coding. Did you check videos like: link to this video If you can do that with Eclipse & Android, please tell me how because then I have been stupid (which is very possible: I haven't changed my toolchain in a while).

On “Show HN: Nightlight, an editor that runs inside Clojure projects”

"Of course ..." is that really true though? From the very beginning, the very first demo, Chris Granger mentions that he got inspired by Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle demo. He mentions it in the first blog post as well :p No mentions of smalltalk Chris Granger's first video on LightTable: link to this video Chris Granger's first blog post on LightTable: link
