Easier to just roll your own with processing.org and java

How do you figure? I don't think that installing an entire application is easier than browsing to a website. Not to mention that modern js is arguably less of a pain than Java if you don't have a capable IDE, which you don't with the processing editor.

Speaking as someone who loves and has programmed a ton in p5js, processing, and openframeworks.

edit: also this has link-sharing, which makes it easier to share with anyone with a browser, and it's more likely to be properly sandboxed so it's probably safer than sharing Processind sketches too.

Tell that to codepen etc

I think this site is fantastic, and the live editing is great for visual feedback.

And as a plus, it doesn't use Java

Unfortunately it uses JavaScript instead ;)
