Is this the future of programming? OpenCode lets you write Processing-code right in your browser. If you click the RUN-button and wait some seconds, an applet opens, that runs the code you have written. Ok, if you want to develop something in that way, you will spend hours of waiting for the applet to start. But the process of sending code through the browser to the webserver is exactly the same thing, that php and cgi does back in the days as a real innovation. The very root of all internet-applications and modern coding-languages we have today for the web. So think twice. Maybe the way of dealing with code is completely about to change.
As you can see, this is still in the alpha-version of OpenCode. But opportunities are good, that the design, approach and vision around the MIT Media Lab and Processing once again could have the power, to re-invent programming and computational design.
