Hello Hans,
Asymptote developers wonder if there's a way to pipe to ConTeXt.
More precisely, they want to do the following:
context misc/null

\newbox\ASYbox
\newdimen\ASYdimen
\long\def\ASYbase#1#2{\leavevmode\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#1}\ASYdimen=\ht\ASYbox%

I
didn't start inspecting anything as I suspect that it's quite possible
that nobody has ever tried that so far.
Ideal will be to have --interactive switch.
The trick that John Bowman decided to use was to "\input null" (an
empty tex file "null.tex"), but I already had problems because I
(forgot that I) didn't have that file.
Do you know someone who maintains a major ConText distribution. Maybe you
can ask her to add that file :-)
