I'm interested in ClojureScript development. Will LightTable support it out of the box just like it supports Clojure?

it already does :) It's a little harder than it should be right now, though. Basically the steps are:

1) Open your html file

2) run the `connect to browser command` and copy the script tag

3) insert script tag into your html file

4) bring up your page in the browser (it has to have the output of lein-cljsbuild on it to get the initial cljs dependencies and such)

5) open a cljs file

6) eval an expression with cmd/ctrl+enter

7) select the browser instead of LightTable-UI

This process will be getting much simpler in the next release. :)

Will this mark the release of the source code?

"As such, I believe it only fair that the core of Light Table be open sourced once it is launched."

Oh man. As someone just getting started with Clojure and ClojureScript. I am super excited to work with LightTable (looks like I need to update my IOS though :p) And super excited about it being open sourced. Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere, but what is light table written in?

Almost entirely ClojureScript: http://www.chris-granger.com/2013/01/24/the-ide-as-data/

Exciting! Thanks.
