As a commenter on the HN announce thread mentioned, Light Table crashes on launch with an error about an incorrect executable format on 32bit-only macs. Those of us still on these machines are probably quite an edge case, but fwiw here's the install log

curl -s -O https://s3.amazonaws.com/temp2.kodowa.com/playground/light && chmod +x light && ./light table

 --- Creating ~/.lighttable

 --- Server up! 
The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect executable format.

and quick confirmation that the bitness is the problem:

file ~/.lighttable/bin/Light\ Table.app/Contents/MacOS/Light\ Table

/Users/aberghage/.lighttable/bin/Light Table.app/Contents/MacOS/Light Table: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

You can open it in a browser (chrome) at http://localhost:8833/ as a work around for now
