  1. Second Step by AKAImBatman · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is a Javascript port of the Processing Visualization Language and a first step towards Javascript being a rival to Flash for online graphics content.

    Second step, actually. Apple and the WHATWG took the first step by introducing the Canvas API to the HTML 5 spec. That gave web developers the ability to do Flash-like content. This language is the second step, in that it gives programmers a standard framework from which to create impressive animations.

    Kudos to Mr. Resig on a job well done! I can't wait to play around with this project more. :-)
