can non java variants of processing export java code

originalsurfmex

Ruby-processing is awesome and the python, clojure, etc versions processing look fascinating. I do love being able to export my sketches everywhere though, especially to the web.

Can these other JVM compatible versions export java code so i can then re export sketches via established processing modes?

If you meant exporting to Processing w/ online JavaScript, AFAIK only Java & JS & CoffeeScript modes are able to! :o3

Just to make sure I'm understanding, are you saying those other versions don't convert their code to java when running? They use some other means to communicate with the JVM and processing api?

These links make me wonder if its yay or nay:

My absolute favorite thing about processing in Java is that I can export my sketch anywhere. My dream would be to write Processing sketches in another language and still be able to deploy anywhere.

Maybe a three step process:

1. When complete export them as Java applets
2. Decompile the applets to source and feed back into the Processing IDE
3. Export from Processing IDE to Android/Javascript/iOS.

Is this a realistic idea?

I guess I've misunderstood too! :-SS

• There are Processing language versions which are compiled into Java. Like default Java Mode & Python.
• Others are compiled as JavaScript. JavaScript & CoffeeScript modes for example.
• And finally there are others which compile to something else like Android mode & Arduino.
