I owe my entire career to Processing, so thank you for your work on it. Not just because I "learned to code" with it, but because of the stance that both the technology and the community took that allowed me to see the potential of computation an aesthetic, and humanistic, endeavour.
Today IMO there is a void in the ecosystem for a modern processing-like system. I can feel that void not only limiting new learners, but limiting my own imagination for future projects.
@wxs Yeah, the tools are still terrible, and in a better world, half of the budget would be going to software, and what has been learned from Processing could be used to build what's next (or support others working to do the same).
