Question

Which languages have the best built-in graphical support?

I'm an architecture student and designer, not a programmer, so I'm looking for a programming language or library with the best support for interactive graphics. For example, last week I had this idea about a traffic intersection program in which I would insert incoming and outgoing bands and then connect them to nodes with a mouse to show the required paths, and this would be used to calculate the average throughput using best traffic light patterns.

Or at that time I wanted to draw a figure, and then I optimally fit the rooms with a predetermined space in this form.

There is Javascript + Canvas, Processing, also Rebol and everything I heard about. Anything more concise / accessible on the Windows platform?

For your use case, this sounds like CAD with good scripting support. There are many CAD packages , and they all use different scripting approaches. AutoCad uses Lisp, BRL-CAD has its own language, and PythonCAD uses, oddly enough, Python. I would look at these or other CAD packages that might have scripting support, and see if any of them would suit your needs.
