Probably mostly the fact that this was started (according to the website) in 1996 and essentially frozen in 2004, which I believe predates the public announcement of Asymptote.
Does Asymptote get much use these days? I thought it was pretty cool, though a bit hard to wrap my mind around, when I first tried it, but nowadays it seems that attention has moved on to TikZ.
- WillAdams 1y agoA quick search shows a paper on it just a couple of years back: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb44-2/tb137hefferon-asymptote.pdf https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb44-2/tb137hefferon-asymptote.pdf I found Asymptote interesting, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around METAPOST (and by extension METAFONT) as an easier thing to implement/use.

I use it and it is reguarly updated. https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/ https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/ https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/gallery/2Dgraphs/index.html https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/gallery/2Dgraphs/index.html https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/gallery/3Dgraphs/index.html https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/gallery/3Dgraphs/index.html
