p5js is one of the most popular toolkits today for teaching creative coding and is used across schools and universities all over the world, so education and community outreach has become a huge part of the ecosystem. “Processing” as a global and worldwide community would not exist today if the only focus of the budget was on the original Java software.
P5 is what I mostly use. How much of the budget did P5 get, how many developers are there?
My argument is for spending money on making software that affects millions not spending it mostly on fellowships that affect 12 people or workshops and talks that affect 40.

How much of the budget was p5js support/development assigned, how many developers are currently working on it, how many man/hours of development have gone into it over the past two years?
This work touches probably less than 1% what P5 and Processing do yet takes up the majority of the budget seemingly.
