ejohn.org — John Resig has released his JavaScript port of the Processing visualization library today. This is an excellent addition to the world of JavaScript graphics programming, I can't wait to make some visuals with it.

Processing isn't generally intended for production deployment across the internet. The stated goal of processing is "an electronic sketchbook for developing ideas." Porting it to Javascript just means that developers who don't know Java can now access the tool more easily.

Javascript is slow compared to Java though.

SILVERs**t? Keep dreaming

Silverlight? Are you insane? Flash has made it onto nearly ever computer on the internet, and Silverlight is dying before it has even fully matured. Go with the dying platform? There are no applications for SILVERLIGHT's bit of masturbation.

Java aplets were never in style. What Resig has done is make this technology available to a skill-set that is much easier to acquire than the other ones people are mentioning. No web technology is ever widely available or a good idea for pro development at its first implementation. This is just something for the JavaScript fiends to make cool toys with until the browser devs are finally convinced to go along with it.

What a waste of your processor. Seriously... why?

Must read for javascript ninjas. IE problems aside.

No, no, it doesn't make it any easier for developers at all - it makes it accessible for *end users* who don't have Java installed, and that's potentially big, since nobody likes Java any more for applets.

Because it's AWESOME, duh. And much less likely to crash your browser than the Java that it replaces.
