Light Table is an integrated development environment for software engineering developed by Chris Granger and Robert Attorri. It features real-time feedback allowing instant execution, debugging and access to documentation.[6] The instant feedback provides an unusual execution environment intended to help developing abstractions.[7]

The development team attempted to create a program which shows the programmer what the effects of their additions are in real-time, rather than requiring them to work out the effects as they write the code.[8] Though the program began by only supporting Clojure, it has since aimed to support Python and JavaScript due to their popularity.[7] The developers claim that the software can reduce programming time by up to 20%.[7]

It was financed by a Kickstarter fundraising campaign and subsequently backed by Y Combinator.[9] The Kickstarter campaign aimed to raise $200,000 USD and finished with $316,720 USD.[8]
