How does vvvv differ from other multimedia development software like Flash or Processing?
vvvv has a whole different programming paradigm. First, you can program while vvvv is running. This makes it very easy to create complex applications, change paramaters in a patch or modify it in realtime, and immediately see the results of your work and alter your application in real-time: no stopping, no compiling, no re-loading, no re-initialisation etc. This makes experiments and learning very easy. Flash and Processing are focussing on different markets: they are for web-based applications, with a plug and play capability supposed to run on something like 99.999% of all machines ever built, while sacrificing quality and render speed in return. Focussing on professionals and artists, we think that (given todays hardware costs) it is possible to dedicate machines to certain projects and machines should be selected to run the software with optimal quality and not vice versa. As vvvv is supposed to run with various kinds of quite bizarre third party devices or render clusters with mul
