I know many of our users/contributors are from here so thanks to all of you for the awesome involvement we've seen. You guys rock :)
Also, I think that the LT team had said that they couldn't achieve as much feedback as they wanted to without developing a new language (that I'm guessing is a bit more progressive than Swift) in order to allow for a more interactive experience.
So, with no insider info, I'm guessing that if they hadn't started developing their own language they may have been leapfrogged, but given that they don't really have to language design constraints around Cocoa/Objective-C semantics maybe they are still pretty far ahead. The harder part is getting enough programmers to care, even if they come out with something really revolutionary.

That's true, but even programmers will have a hard time ignoring some of the claims we'll be able to make :)
In any case, our work on Light Table is a small step compared to where things are headed and at the very least, I can promise there are interesting times ahead.
I understand lighttable 0.5.9 to be the most recent that works.
I'll get excited when I can CHANGE THE F##KING FONT without editing a F##KING config file (after reading the help and being redirected to watch a #*%!@! video).
