Sorry, I thought you were saying that kb shortcut is what "committed" the
change to the running JVM. I now see your point that LightTable keeps
trying to eval each top-level form and show you the result as you edit,
whereas in Emacs you would have to issue a command to see the value of a
top-level form. It seems like a small distinction, but I can see how it
would make work more fluid.

The misconception I hope is disappearing is that REPL-driven development in
Emacs necessarily involves lots of switching and copy-pasting back and
forth between source file buffers and a REPL buffer. The video in Jay's
blog post makes it pretty clear you never need to see the REPL prompt to
use the REPL to change a running system.
