P5 is indeed the official port of Processing for Java (Processing.js being an independent attempt from John Resig). But like Processing, P5 is more about artistic realisations than applied use, which all of your alternate descriptions tend to lead to.

This sounds unnecessarily negative. Even in the light of pure artistic realisation, I found 3 of the 4 points still very good.

The first point _is_ very much about artistic realisation:

- p5 speeds the creation of animations on your site

The second and last point are about the accessibility of the artistic stuff. Some don't care, but others want to show their stuff and all their intermediate stuff to the widest audience possible:

- p5 allows beginners to create complex interactions compatible across devices

- p5 shrinks site size by replacing videos with animations

But as gp said, this list is just an inspiration and the real list of benefits needs to be determined empirically with the community of (potential) users.
