What is Light Table?

Light Table is an innovative interactive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that empowers users to modify running programs and seamlessly integrate a diverse range of content, from websites to games. Unlike traditional IDEs, Light Table offers real-time feedback, providing users with a comprehensive understanding of their code's behavior and the underlying data flow throughout their entire program. This transformative approach to programming not only furnishes the answers, but also fosters a deeper comprehension of the underlying principles, enabling developers to make informed decisions and write more robust, efficient code
