In this paper we present a DSL for image processing that is on-par with competing methods, yet its design principles are in strong contrast to previous approaches. Our tool chain is much simpler, easing the burden on implementors and maintainers, while our output, C-family code, is both adaptable and shows high performance. We believe that our methodology provides a faster evaluation of language features and abstractions in the domains above.}, language = {en} }
