Public Sticky notes
Manfre writes "On his birthday, John Resig (creator of jQuery) has given a present to developers by releasing Processing.js. This is a Javascript port of the Processing Visualization Language and a first step towards Javascript being a rival to Flash for online graphics content. His blog post contains an excellent writeup with many demos."

I've ported the Processing visualization language to JavaScript, using the Canvas element.

The language includes a number of interesting aspects, many of which are covered in the basic demos. Here's a brief selection of language features that are handled:
- Types and type casting - Type information is generally discarded, but becomes important in variable declaration and in casting (which is generally handled well).
- Classes - The full class system is supported (can be instantiated, etc. just fine).
- Method overloading and multiple constructors - Within classes you can have multiple method (or constructor) definitions - with the appropriate methods being called, based upon their signature length.
- Inheritance - Even classical-style inheritance is supported.
