@nitish-bot I am currently traveling but will try to take a look in 24 hours. Thanks.

For folks interested in L5, we just received 2 Usability Studies reports from Usability Studies teams at University of Washington. One study surveyed Beginners to Creative Coding. The second study worked with Experienced Creative Coders (with p5.js experience and/or 1+ years of creative coding).

The results of those studies are currently posted in a [thread here](https://discourse.processing.org/t/l5-usability-testing-for-creative-coders-coming-from-processing-and-p5-js/47903/3) dedicated to the studies.

They are wide-ranging and useful starting points for significant ways to improve L5’s usability (including the language and its ecosystem). I haven’t written a response to them yet, nor prepared a markdown/text file nor GitHub issues based on it yet. I have only received the second study tonight for example, as a PDF file. But it is useful information that would be excellent for informing proposals for working on L5 in GSoC. (Also pinging @samheckle who had asked about these studies).
