Subject:Light Table IDE From:Lee Fisher <blibbet -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Sun, 13 May 2012 10:39:55 -0700
I just noticed this on a local Python mailing list.
Light Table is an interesting new proposed developer IDE, which has
documentation baked-in. The first principle of the IDE: "You should
never have to look for documentation". Searching for various kinds of
docs seems to be well-integarted into IDE.
Besides search abilities, the IDE based on a REPL, and saves the REPL
session output to generate a Literate Programming-style document of the
code, for source documentation.
So, two unique uses of technical documentation by this IDE. Nice ideas.
