I tried using it as I'm just learning clojure. I'm okay with learning new things if they're worth my time, but I didn't find the editor worth its resources. On OS X, Light Table uses more memory than Eclipse + Counterclockwise (on Ubuntu). After seeing that, I dropped it and went to Eclipse (save RAM and cognitive load).

Huh. I just opened a brand new download of eclipse and it's at 440mb with no files open. LT is 115 + 50 having been open all week.

Did you have some weird plugins installed? Did you create a bunch of Clojure processes and count those?

EDIT: Ah, there was a memory leak for a while. I bet that's what the problem was. It's definitely fixed in master.

I'll download LT again. I liked it. Just leaked, apparently.
