OPENRNDR is worth checking out for anyone interested in processing https://openrndr.org/ https://openrndr.org/ It avoids a lot of the weirdness that processing has in its relation with Java and meets somewhere between that and open frameworks. Great to check out if you've been looking for a playground to get familiar with Kotlin too!

When I started using it 3 years ago I was concerned about using Kotlin (a language developed mostly by one company) or choosing a framework with a small community. After writing hundreds of audiovisual programs in Java, Kotlin, C++, JavaScript and some other languages I can say OPENRNDR provides the most frictionless creative experience for me. I enjoy it every day. Still, to appreciate what it has to offer I think it's better to start with Processing or p5.js and write growing programs until they become hard to follow. Then it makes sense to have a good IDE and a beautiful API.
