with javascript you don't have the concept of loop(), that's why you have to rely on setTimeout().
the idea is that you can do all your logics within loop(), including "time management":
e.g. each time you enter loop(), a variable is incremented, then depending on its value you can jump to diferent sub-routines...

fyi.. using Timer will break inside a web browser on about 65% of the machines out there, because they're using Microsoft's implementation of Java 1.1 rather than Java 1.3 or newer.
sounds like we need to implement one for Processing.
