Such a thing already exists ...
In 1993 we decided that VB was too slow, syntactically too complex, lacked
the IP functions, and so developed PiXCL (a more or less self-documenting
interpreted language written in C/C++), and an IP and image format handling
DLL (in C), so it would be a quick exercise to acquire, display and process
images. It does all of the above and a whole lot more. PiXCL is now at
version 5.04 and had been very useful to us (and the kind souls who bought
it...).
