Light Table is based on a very simple idea: we need a real work surface to code on, not just an editor and a project explorer. We need to be able to move things around, keep clutter down, and bring information to the foreground in the places we need it most.

Light table is based on a few guiding principles:

You should never have to look for documentation
Files are not the best representation of code, just a convenient serialization.
Editors can be anywhere and show you anything - not just text.
Trying is encouraged - changes produce instantaneous results
We can shine some light on related bits of code
