It looks a lot like what I already do with Emacs.
Is Light Table also programmable in the language it's written in? I find extensibility and compose-ability far more important in an editor than any single feature alone.
Cool demo. I like the idea of alternate real-time visualizations of my code; especially in large and unfamiliar systems.
Could you name the modes, which help you accomplish live-debug and 1-click documentation effects?
You might also find eldoc-mode[1] and it's various mode-specific children (c-, perl-, ...) to a useful minor-mode. It displays a short string describing the function-at-point, and the order and name of it's arguments. Sort of zero-click docs. Whatever way it does it could probably be hacked up to display more complete docs in a split window or frame. Something I'll think about when I finally get an SSD :)
