  3. processing

    ⚠️ Processing moved to processing/processing4 ⚠️

    Some more context: Ben Fry posted a thread on X in 10/2023[1] where he announced and explained his decision to resign from the Processing Foundation.

    Seems like Processing got left out from expenses despite their large budget, running against their original reason to start the foundation: “I was soon shocked to learn that the Foundation spent nearly $800,000 last year. $0 of that went to Processing 4. This year, the proposed Foundation budget is around $1.2 million. But for Processing, there is budget for just two people: one developer, one community lead. You know what that sounds like? The reason we started a Foundation in the first place. Two people is not enough for any of the Processing software projects (i.e. anything that lives at a http://processing.org domain.)”

    I wonder if most of the money went into p5 or the new website or whatever, but it made me a bit sad to see that the original Processing got left behind. It is what got me into programming and there are still lots of good reasons to choose it over p5. I can, however, understand if they prioritised p5 due to the rise of web apps and mobile devices, sharability, JS being everywhere and so on. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it just doesn’t bring me as much joy as the original.

    playing with processing and p5js to produce interactive flyer for event on 05may23 in plovdiv/BG

    * the track is from Babe Roots' incredible Sufferation Time - https://baberoots.bandcamp.com/track/sufferation-time-babe-r...

    the p5js part was more challenging, as I had to only draw every 5th pixel every frame, in order to get some decent performance. but since this is a transition, you can't mention it.
