Fabrice, Accepting the caveats Hans pointed out for problematic spacing and some issues with references, you might find [ https://github.com/bateni/rawsteps-mkiv] useful. I ported RawSteps to MkIV and have used it in a few presentations. The version on github might be buggy, but a good start if you really insist on using RawSteps.
