Peduncle
I started working on an image processing system/language the other week, called Peduncle. I started it partly to get back into programming more, and also because I am very interested in the intersection of time and brushes. This comes from the work I used to do at Xaos Tools many years ago. My boss, Michael Tolson, was a major influence on my thinking.
A peduncle is a stem which has flowers off of it. This applies to many of the image processing concepts I have, such as tapping into a data stream, using a flow of operators to generate a final image, etc. The image on the right actually has only one operator applied to it, a drip operator.
