{Through the looking glass, and what Joseph found there} {Joseph Wright} {The \LaTeX3 programming language, \code{expl3}, has grown over the past decade to form a strong and stable environment for solving problems in \TeX. A key aim is to grow this work to cover a wider range of areas. In recent work, the team have been building on the existing code, and in particular the expandable \acro{FPU}, to develop approaches to color, drawing and image support. In this talk, I will look at why this work is useful, what models we can work from and where the work has taken us so~far.}
