Interesting language <http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/>
Well, the fact it is very close of C probably helped a lot. For a
language with unusual syntax, it can be harder. That's why I advised to
try and find a similar language which has already a lexer, it would
provide a sound and easy base.
You can also mix code: for POV-Ray language, I used the C lexer, but
took the code to handle nested comments in another lexer (Lua?).
