Zosimos

GPU accellerated image buffer and compute system

Zosimos is a statically typed language with an embeddable interpreter for raster graphics compositing pipelines. Built on Rust's `wgpu` to target WebGPU it abstracts, through native capabilities or emulation, color-space aware editing capabilities across platforms including the web. The implementation builds on SPIR-V graphics and compute shaders to execute largely asynchronously and close to hardware capabilities. The user facing programming language provides an image manipulation interface with operations similar to those found in GEGL and imagemagick.
