With this plugin, you can apply colour transforms to your tiles, merge two or more tiles with a custom function, perform on-the-fly hillshading, or create synthetic tile layers based only on the map coordinates.
See several examples and edit them :

Why?
#Leaflet has been lagging behind when it comes to #WebGL technology. Other map libraries (such as OpenLayers 3 and most notably Tangram) can already use WebGL shaders to apply transformations to map tiles and do fancy stuff.
The inflexion point are MapBox’s “Terrain-RGB” tiles. WebGL manipulation of these tiles can provide real-time terrain relief and hill shading.
This takes some inspiration from shadertoy.com, in the sense that the shaders work on two triangles with some predefined attributes and uniforms.
