processing

So, last week John Resig announced that he'd created a Processing port to javascript. The net effect is that you can do some very flash-esque animations in javascript with it, which is pretty cool because I've found Flash development to be Teh SuckNess(tm) on sooo many levels.

I'd been unaware of the Processing language itself until I saw the post, so I decided to check it out and see what's up. It's basically a programming language allowing you to script animations, visualizations, or interactions. In short, everything people are currently abusing Flash for beyond platform independent web video. :) Very slick, and I wish I had more time to play around with it.
