[FRIAM] Processing API ported to Javascript

[Owen Densmore]

May be slashdotted, I'm having "forbidden" errors.  Try later I guess.

This points something we've said for ages: the chief problem the  
"agile" systems have is that the graphics is not built in .. which  
often drives folks to Java (NetLogo, Processing).  Javascript has  
always had graphics, and is enjoying a huge resurgence due to its  
being not only a "scripting language" but with graphics and UI  
capabilities.
