I'm sure many HASTAC readers have already heard this news, but it's worth repeating: Processing (the fantastic programming language and development environment born in the MIT Media Lab in 2001) finally left beta earlier this week.

Of course people have been using Processing to make beautiful generative artwork and visualizations for years, but this is still an important milestone, and a good excuse to point out again how much fun this software is.

If you're not familiar with Processing, take a look?it's a great way to inspire students (or yourself) to start playing around with code.
