Processing is a subset of Java.
For starters, Java and thus by extension processing doesn't allow funargs and is constrained by it's verbosity. For anything other than basic Sketches, this is a huge disadvantage for something that claims to be an educational tool.
Not cross platform.
Which is uselessly slow on anything other than webkit.
Here's all of permutations and combination (written in processing) in 3D space.
Permutations and combinations.
Taking 3 (visualized as dimensions) from 7 (length of side).

KEY:
Permutation: (order matters).
Repeating (Sequence): All (little cubies). Eg: Passwords.
Non-repeating (Arrangement): All except the reds. (ie transparent + blues). Eg: Number of ways of podium finishes in a race.
Combination: Selection (order doesn't matter).
Repeating: Cubies with white outline. Eg: Number of 3 scoop icecream serving from a set of flavours.
Non-repeating (Subset combination): The blues. Eg: Number of ways to choose 3 member committies from a group.I wonder what this means for Douglas Crockford's "Good parts" subset and JSLint?
Those were islands of sanity and beauty in the ocean of raw sewage aka the browser environment.
In any case, I don't see this as evolutionary nor revolutionary. The benefits are non-existent, the hassles too many to enumerate. This feels like something a jobless and clueless government would do.
The same is true for India and China. Maybe because there are too many bikes here for anybody to really want to steal them.
I think he meant "radio" as in the GSM module.
