What language would be most suitable for little graphical apps?

Like fractals, animations, and random visual stuff.

I like to learn new languages, but I never know which ones to turn myself to...

My requirements (all optional):
0- Can output visual stuff
1- Cross-platform
2- Documented
3- Not python

Thanks in advance :)

    You could try Node with the electron engine. Haven't used it personally, but heard very good things about it.

    @Tudor I actually have, and the Node+Electron combination is what I'm most proficient with.

    I hate when the answer is so obvious you don't see it... I'll try it out then :)

    Thanks!

    For drawing fractals and geometry stuff in general, it definitely doesnt get much better than Logo IMO. It isn't capable of supporting larger graphical apps, but it's good for mathy things if that's what you're asking about.

    Check out Processing (or the JavaScript library which emulates the Processing API and runs in a browser). It's easy to make visualizations with it.

    Just use java and processing(ide for java). Node? Electron wtf?
    If you want terrible speed and errors with setup... then yes. But try processing and java first.
