The Barbarian Group is known to be a top design agency that creates really impressive creative design. So probably them.

Oh really?

#7Looks nice- more cross platform batteries for C++. I'm sort of sad they don't support Linux though.

What do you find controversial about that statement?
You can certainly argue over which languages are most powerful, but there's really only one other general purpose language that rivals C++ in terms of performance and that's C. C++ being nearly a strict superset of C is almost by definition more powerful.

#9it's interesting the use the phrase "creative coding" but make no reference to openframeworks, which is essentially the competition and also uses that phrase http://www.openframeworks.cc/

Not necessarily. In the general case, restrictions can make a language more powerful [1], by allowing the user and the compiler to make more assumptions. E.g. removing gotos and mutations seem good ideas.
In the case of C vs C++, removing operator overloading and exceptions could turn out to make the language more powerful.
[1] If you use the right definition of `powerful'. You need a sensible definition that avoids "They are all Turing complete and thus equally powerful."
