I just posted an entry about NodeBox over on Generator.x. NodeBox is a Python-based coding environment that specializes in producing vector graphics, with very high quality results. Like Processing’s use of Java, NodeBox uses a simplified syntax but has access to the full power of Python for advanced programmers. It also has some interesting libraries, like the Pixie handwriting library or the PhotoBot image processing library.

Unfortunately, NodeBox is only for Mac OS, but the source is available under a MIT license. It looks like a fun alternative to Processing with a slightly different bias on what kind of work it is useful for. Have a look at the Gallery for some examples.
