That was quite amazing. I’m thrilled to check out Light Table now. But I’m at a loss, since I just got Clojure running in Emacs pretty well, complete with Vim keybindings.

Yet, I can’t get the Cljs connection working in an acceptable manner, so if LT makes that trivial I might just switch instantly. Hrmpf, why can’t there be an easy solution …

This is really neat - I'm eager to see what people come up with. I wonder if there could be something similar to M-: in Emacs, to quickly evaluate a form, and if people could actually use that to do text manipulation, etc.

That's an amazing idea for a plugin :) I'll try to investigate this, because the way I do it now is to just open any *.cljs file, connect it to the Light Table UI and eval the expression that way. It is however a lenghty process, as it takes about 10-20 seconds to connect and compile on the frist time.
