I learnt about Lua thru Metaplace, which is now dead. I heard about Processing via Anders Sandberg.
I'm always fascinated by data visualisation. I thought Processing might come in handy.
Thanks for mentioning SICP. I'll check it out.
I'm going through SICP now. I'm not getting as much out of it as I expected, because much of it I already know, is uninteresting to me since I expect lazy evaluation due to Haskell, or is just tedious (I got sick pretty quick with the authors' hard-on for number theory).
We've had these for a year, I'm sure we all know what to do by now.
