GSOC 2018 Applicant

Hello! My name is Shristy and I am an undergraduate student from India. I went through the Project Ideas List given on the Github Wiki page and came across this project. Under the heading Processing, i.e. the project ideas for the main PDE, the first idea is a JavaScript prototype for the Development Environment. From the description, I gather that a better and more flexible UI is needed. My question is that if Swing is outdated and we need a better UI, why not use JavaFX? If JavaScript is needed and mentioned for some other reason, what else does the Project outcome demand that we should strictly use JavaScript for the work?

I would be thankful for guidance in this matter and also for ideas on how to start working for this project.

Thanks!

  • One reason we are looking into JS is to align with the p5.js project and to leverage the large pool of open source contributors using web technologies.
