Hi, I'd like to know if Light Table has any features for evaluating code in local scope.
I think it's very helpful when writing code to see the values flowing through it, and be able to inspect/modify them interactively. However, last time I tried LightTable with Python there was no way to interactively evaluate code outside of the global scope. To give a sense of one kind of workflow I'm imagining, I put together a short interaction demo at http://kitaev.io/xdbg/html/ I imagine that people on this list have put a lot of thought into different ways of increasing interactivity, so I'm curious if this has already been implemented or brainstormed. The only thing in this vein that my searching turned up is the clojure instarepl, which unfortunately seems limited both in terms of language support, and in terms of support for more complicated code with expensive/nondeterministic steps (e.g. something math-heavy, calling out to c, or importing external resources). I'd appreciate any input I could get on this! Thanks, ~Nikita -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Light Table Discussion" group.
