  My first Github repo was/is an asymptote program for generating Go kifu: https://github.com/mnemnion/gasym https://github.com/mnemnion/gasym

  It's not really directly comparable, but for simple illustrations I had a better time wrapping my head around sketch: http://sketch4latex.sourceforge.net/sketch.html http://sketch4latex.sourceforge.net/sketch.html

  Going through the github repo... why is it not yet standard practice to have a src/ and include/ directory for a project layout? It is just my personal preference or do others think the same?

  Yes! I have lazily been waiting for something like this to come along and hopefully bump out metapost. Maybe this has already happened and I am out of the loop on that though.

    Asymptote itself has been around for over 10 years. There is also TikZ, which is quite popular. I don't have much experience with TikZ (I'm just starting to learn it), but my impression is that Asymptote is more powerful, but TikZ is more integrated into the LaTeX workflow.
