Processing.js for mobile devices

I completely adore Processing.js, John Resig's port of the Processing graphics programming language to JavaScript.  Everything that guy creates is a treasure.  As you might know, he's also the creator of jQuery, which is one of my favorite things.

I've been thinking a lot about how Processing.js would be great for making mobile apps.  I guess there are a couple of possible approaches:

  • something analogous to PhoneGap that turns your Processing.js code into native graphical apps optimized for each mobile device
  • an ultra-lightweight, specially-optimized (if that's even possible) subset of the parts of Processing.js that are most interesting to mobile apps and/or games, analogous to XUI

There have been a couple other Processing ports, an iPhone version (wish I could find the source) and a Flash/ActionScript one

And why Processing.js rather than the original Processing?  Because then you could reuse the code on the web.

I have a special interest in making something like this, since it would simplify a lot of my current work.  If you're interested in collaborating with me on this or know of anyone who might be, let me know.
