Paper.js — The Swiss Army Knife of Vector Graphics Scripting.

Paper.js is an open source vector graphics scripting framework that runs on top of the HTML5 Canvas. It offers a clean Scene Graph / Document Object Model and a lot of powerful functionality to create and work with vector graphics and bezier curves, all neatly wrapped up in a well designed, consistent and clean programming interface.

This looks really good, a challenger to Raphaël or an additional tool for the dev belt? Sadly I haven't had much time or opportunity to experiment with either, but I'm getting more and more excited about JavaScript in modern web design.

All those years of Flash & ActionScript may just translate!
