If you are interested in Processing you are probably interested in what else is out there to design and create artwork with a computer.
openFrameworks (oF) - I have not yet made anything with openFrameworks but it seems like the openFrameworks library and the Processing library have many similarities. Just as Processing is built upon Java, openFrameworks is built upon C++. Unlike Processing, openFrameworks does not have an IDE built in. I really want to try it next because it seems like a lot of designers for large scale works are using it. I'll try to figure out what the advantages and disadvantages of working in openFrameworks versus Processing.
pure data (pd) - Pure data was introduced to me by Professor Pat Pagano. He's worked with it forever and uses it to create immersive visuals, control lighting, and create interactive art. I have done a little work in pure data. Pure data is a graphical programming language - the programs you create look like flow charts rather than lines of text.
