p5.js is a JavaScript library that’s designed with the original goals of the Processing programming language – to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners – but to do it with Javascript, so that you can do it in your Web browser.
p5.js lets you create Web-based multimedia applications that can interact with other HTML5 objects, including text, input, video, webcam, and sound.
Reader Ian Watkins has been experimenting with it and says it’s a great starting point for in-browser synths. Here’s one of Watkin’s examples, with on-screen code. View with a modern browser.

>to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners
Uh, no. Those people want tools, not accessible programming languages.
your finger is on the pulse of knowledge-seeking humanity’s needs
i`m an artist and educator and i find more valuable an accesible programming language than a pre-made tool.
