Computer graphic programming language [closed]

Question

Is there a programming language that has been explicitly created for computer graphics? I know that usually C and C++ are the most commonly used PLs for computer graphics but I want to know if there is a domain-specific language for CG.

Answer 1

Renderman was specifically created and has been used by Pixar and many others as a graphics DSL. You describe objects in the scene, attach shaders to them, add light sources, position cameras, describe projections, etc. All in this C-like language from the 1980s.

There are open source renderers that implement it & you can try it out.

Now that I think of it, perhaps POVray could be considered another.
