Processing is different beast. It’s a framework, not a coding environment.

Processing is Java + sophisticated graphics and animation capabilties: you create a canvas and you can then draw to it. It has a bunch of functions and libraries for use by artists and graphics people. It’s solid and performant. And there is a Python mode these days if you like significant whitespace.

p5.js is Processing ported to JavaScript.



Yeah I see I was too cynical here. Processing and p5 seems legit. The weird aura of social justice word salad emanating from the foundation is kinda tainting it with BS.
