This is fantastic, and it's weird coincidence that I woke up this morning with an insatiable appetite to make a canvas game!

What does this offer over processing.js?

Looks really, really promising. If somebody could make a nice GUI for non-coders, this would be a pretty good replacement for lots of applications where Flash is the only choice now.

  I've been working on a HTML5 animation app called Radi. It supports both <canvas> and <video>. It's available as a free beta: http://www.radiapp.com http://www.radiapp.com (The app is Mac-only for the moment, sorry.)

Wow: WebGL, CSS/Dom and Canvas renderers. EaselJS has been considering it[1], and even Three.js has it[2], but as Canvas gets more widespread and Hardware acceleration by default, these multiple renderers may not be that helpful. On the other hand, how long until then?

I was curious who was driving the development of this and noticed the author is the CTO of Ludei.com, a company that's pushing for HTML5 as a universal game dev platform. They author a product called CocoonJS that then converts your CAAT project into native mobile apps. Neat stuff. Edit clickable link: http://www.ludei.com http://www.ludei.com

  Hi all. just for clarification, cocoonJS is not focused only on converting CAAT projects into native apps. CocoonJS aims to execute your canvas based javascript games/applications 'inside' a native application, which means there's no cross-compilation. The javascript code is evaluated at runtime untouched, and must not be CAAT based.
