The Clojure workflow, as it has evolved in this community, has mostly been "repl combined with a text editor". And that is exactly what Light Table is delivering. The criticisms that were offered were criticisms of Clojure. Two different people complained that they tried to load their PHP projects and they found that Light Table offered no tools for PHP. Another guy asked about Ruby. Another guy asked about Python. No one said, "I think Light Table makes it hard for me to write Clojure code." People were complaining that their own favorite language was not supported. And most of that was simply a misunderstanding of what Light Table was trying to do. My understanding is that, given enough time, Light Table will eventually support a large number of languages. Much of the criticism that was aimed at Light Table simply amounted to people taking an early beta product and assuming it was a polished, finished 1.0 release.
