I might have overlooked it, but it doesn't seem to say which OS Light Table will run on?

I would back it up for Linux, for example, but a Windows version wouldn't be useful for me.

[lbotos]

I think it will be browser-based. He mentioned using codemirror in his post here: http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/04/15/light-tables-numbers...

It'll support windows/linux/mac

[pluies_public]

Thanks for the quick reply ibdknox! It might be useful to include it on the kickstarter page too?

This is too much. I've never seen an editor that runs well on the 3 of them. If you had said Mac or just Linux, I could believe you. I am really interested, but I am afraid of this becoming vaporware.

Ignoring the usual "vim", "emacs" etc., do try Sublime Text 2, if all you're after is an editor. So far it's proved unfailingly excellent for me :).

FWIW Chris stated in a previous post that Lighttable would be built on embedding CodeMirror, which, being web-based, should make creating cross-platform builds much easier.

Hear, hear on ST2. I don't have to do anything more than let people see me use it before they switch.

It's not just an editor. I use it for Python development. There's a plugin that uses Rope to give you completion, go to function definition, etc:

I've been using Emacs for months both on Linux and Windows and it runs much smoother on Linux, its' intended habitat.

[angrycoder]

Vim, emacs, sublime, Komodo, gedit, jedit... And that is just off the top of my head.

Are you saying that Sublime Text doesn't run well on Windows? I know it runs just fine on Mac and Linux.

[lordlicorice]

Chiming in that it works wonderfully on Windows, although I had some problems with font rendering being ugly. Maybe it's just that I don't use ClearType, but I had to change some of the font options to get a result I'm happy with.

"font_face": "droid sans mono", "font_options": [ "subpixel_antialias" ],

[esmevane]

Ah, okay. I was about to say originally that it is entirely cross-platform, then I realized there was some qualitative language in the parent post and wondered if maybe the Windows flavor was just flawed somehow.

Thanks!

[sirclueless]

Well, Sublime Text 1.x was only for Windows and was unique for rendering with DirectX, so one would hope it runs just fine there.

Vim and Emacs seem to work fine if you have Gnu's win32 tools.

You should try out Sublime Text. I have used it on all three platforms and it works pretty much the same on all of them.

[teejae]

Agreed. One reason I use it is BECAUSE it runs the same across all platforms, and is the slickest editor on all of them. I do development in multiple OS/environments daily.

Since it will build on top of CodeMirror, I assume it will run on any OS that supports a modern browser.
