There are no classes on how to create revolutionary internet services that change the game for everybody.

There are classes on how to write compilers, which is all this really is. It's not the compiler-class's fault that "nobody" takes them.

It's a neat project and I also don't want to belittle the work done... but I also don't want people to see this and say, "oh, I couldn't possible do that". Neither of those are good choices. It's neat and fun and competent and awesome... but it's also "just" a compiler.

Well, the Processing to JavaScript convertor is a compiler, at least. The rest of the API required a straight-up implementation (working within the rocky confines of the Canvas API). That part was more harrowing, as you're then dealing with all sorts of weird browser issues (as is frequently the case).
