Processing.js ( http://github.com/jeresig/processing-js/ ) is written by John Resig and is a port of the Processing language ( http://processing.org) developed at MIT that uses the Html Canvas ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_(HTML_element) )
It is a very sexy 2D drawing API that allows developers to create rich visualizations, and via excanvas.js, is supported by all browsers (needs some work based on my experience). I spent a few hours on the train and wrote a 75 line routine to produce Heat Maps on top of Google Maps, it can be used to render beautiful charts, manipulate images, etc, etc. It's a big win for the javascript community and John's skills show clearly in it's simplicity and it's completeness.
