The neat thing about Processing is that since it is based on Java it is possible
to export Processing programs (excluding some functions) as cross-platform
applets that can be embedded in web pages.
So, what Andy has created is the basis for an online LDraw viewer! One possible
application of this is to allow people without LDraw installations to
nevertheless view models in 3d using their browsers. To illustrate the
feasibility of this I made a quick hack online version of the code that displays
a fully-inlined model (so no part library is required):

I look forward to seeing how this progresses.
