About Processing

Processing was created in 2001 by Casey Reas and Ben Fry. It was developed to serve as a software sketchbook and tool for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. The goal was to make programming more accessible to artists, designers, and beginners.

Strengths of Processing included its simplicity, ease of use for beginners, and strong community support. Weaknesses included limited performance for complex or large-scale applications and reliance on Java, which could be a barrier for some users. Competitors included p5.js, OpenFrameworks, and Cinder.
