There's something special with Processing and I love testing things with it. But I am not a great fan of Java.

I decided to have some fun and experiment with Scala, Eclipse and the processing libraries. It worked.

But, then I was hit by a question: assuming I create something funny with all this wonderful stuff, how do I ship it to people?

After some really convoluted attempts I found an ugly and half baked solution which still involved hard work for each and every new sketch.

A little bit disapointed, I opened Processing to see how easy it was to ship a sketch as a native application.

Here's a screenshot of the export panel.

Now, there's definitely something important to learn from this panel.

I think that Processing works, is minimalist and focuses on helping its user experiment and ship.

Every word is important in the last sentence:

• works
• minimalist
• focus
• helpful
• user
• experiment
• ship

That's a great lesson a lot of people should follow.

Thank you Processing :)
