1 Dec 2020 Donation-ware status chage
From 1 Dec 2020, by forcing payments aka 'donations' for access to source codes & software downloads, it became donation-ware. Since 1 Dec 2002 it violates the rule of open-source community for free and unrestricted acceess to software and it is sources, it only available to donwload for at least 5$ donation, starting from 1 Dec till 31 Dec 2020.

The "better" Hello World example gives errors if it is cut-pasted into the editor -- the font file specified does not come with the standard distribution (on Windows at least). Hence, I propose removing this example in favor of one that works after just cut-pasting the example code.

The map of the USA example could be improved by a brief explanation of how the software knows the position and shape of the states on the wikipedia map.

From Cleanup: Processing - Is this an ad? Certainly nothing that links there is appropriate - Conrad Leviston


 * Should be rewritten to focus on processing in general, but perhaps also mentioning the software that the article currently talks about briefly. Cadr


 * Keep for now. Looks like a significant work and although it may read as advertising, we also include coca cola in here.  The article looks factual   to me.  But I do agree about incorporating into a wider article.


 * Though I agree the page reads like an ad, Processing does appear to be a well established program. --Neko18 01:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


 * strong keep Processing is one of the most important development environments / environments for teaching in the new media arts / visual design fields. It is very significant and has revolutionized pedagogy globally. It has lead to dozens of offshoot projects and has inspired new methods of organizing projects that have been adopted throughout the field of new media art, visual design; Arduino, Wiring, and Openframeworks are among these. For proof of notability, please understand that this project won a Golden Nica at Ars Electronica - ostensibly the highest honor that can be earned in this field.  For reference, please see http://www.aec.at/prix/en/winners/2005-prix-gewinner-net-vision/ and for more reference, see here: http://www.gama-gateway.eu/index.php?id=21  (Pcatanese (talk) 09:24, 10 March 2013 (UTC))
 * you're responding to a near seven-year-old discussion. Kaini (talk) 00:25, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

It seems to me that this makes far more sense as a separate article than it would under Processing, although it could stand to be expanded. I'll see if I can come up with a whole lot more to say about it. --Oolong 11:54, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I am the person who has added the references to the Wiring project and to the Golden Nica Prize. I don't think it is an ad at all. Processing certainly is a major language taught at Art and Design schools that want to expose visual creators to the craft of programming. -- Javier Candeira

Fair use rationale for Image:Processing-loading-logo.gif
Image:Processing-loading-logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File extension
Somewhere PDE should be noted as the usual file extension for processing source files. —Preceding unsigned comment added by T.kalka (talk • contribs) 20:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Processing is NOT language
This is big mistake. Processing is just an IDE and library written in (and for) Java and can be used with other languages like Scala. Someone should amend it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.254.155.226 (talk) 22:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It uses Java and can be used in Java applications, but it has it's own syntax and requires no knowledge of Java. It's purpose is to be a simple language so you don't have to learn Java.  It was designed for non-programmers, not Java developers (though as you state, it can be used as an API to extend visual elements).   Morphh   (talk) 03:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have its own syntax.--24.185.85.196 (talk) 17:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Processing is a Java subset or a Java framework but no programming language that stands on its own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.50.53.0 (talk) 22:06, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Processing.js exists now and is completely Java-independent. Fench (talk) 23:53, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Other IDEs derived from Processing should be added
There is another fork from processing is called Energia www.energia.nu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjdg (talk • contribs) 17:23, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Unnecessary quote
I don't think the quote in section p5.js is necessary. It would be better just to include the required information in the normal text. --Mortense (talk) 11:58, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree. I just went ahead and removed it. It was already covered in the history section much less obtrusively. The quote is also sourced from github, which is probably less a than ideal: it's not independent, it's the author of the subject speaking, and it's essentially trivia.

Merger proposal
Since Processing.js is unmaintained and is only one subproject/port of Processing, I suggest that the article should redirect to Processing_(programming_language) and the relevant content be transferred there. There is no reason for Processing.js to have its own article if all the others elements in “Related projects” don’t, especially as its not an active project any more. ~ nicolas (talk) 17:11, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Support makes sense, given the project status and the small size of the processing.js article. If no one replies her in the coming month or so, you could just try redirecting the js article here and integrating the content. --- Possibly &#9742; 22:21, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, non-notable on its own. fgnievinski (talk) 03:40, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
