I am extremely interested in what you feel the improvements are in Asymptote compared to MP, because it would give some clues to the direction MP development should take. I've been browsing a bit and I now know it has more of a C++ style of doing things, but personally I don't see that as a big advantage. Just like Laurence, I simply like the MF/MP 'feel'. But more importantly, most of my illustrations depend heavily on the equation solving capabilities of MetaPost. I got the impression Asymptote cannot do that (but I may have missed something).
