This is not something that can be replaced with a library, anymore than a library can replace OpenGL itself.

Keep in mind that this is more analagous to a GL shader. It is not a general purpose language.

There are already shading languages and DSLs that work on buffers like Halide. Halide especially seems very good at transformations on buffers.
