interesting (i assume that it produced pdf)
Yes with the difference that while Metapost, Asympthote and GLE (http://glx.sourceforge.net/) use their own proprietary language to do PDF graphics, Tioga(*) uses Ruby, a full featrured and very nice language. I even see more presence in the future of Ruby in ConTeXt. Isn'it?
well, if we can have \ruby {...} as we will have \lua {...}
It is just my 2c, but I really dislike the Tioga approach. It feels like typesetting a book in TeX by writing a single-shot pascal program. ;-) Specifically, I find code like this (Tioga): move_to_point(x0, y0) append_curve_to_path(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3) far uglier than this (Asymptote/MetaPost): z0.. controls z1 and z2 .. z3 Taco
