Hi all,

I like metapost but, according to the following mail (on the metapost ML):

[metapost] MP vs. Asymptote
I don't want to start a flame, but since someone posted a message some
time ago mentioning Asymptote I got curious and I have to say that I was
very impressed, even if I still have some problems with it. However, it
seems a net improvement over MP, or not? Is there anyone with an
informed opinion over Asymptote? Might Asymptote be the killer of MP?

Cheers,
(and always thanks for the help I got here now and then...)

Maurizio

I wonder if someone has already tried to use asymptote with ConTeXt... IMHO, this doesn't seem obvious at all but I'm maybe wrong...

Cheers

Renaud
