I'm really interested in this metapost. I was also tinkering with making some sort of front end
that we can use in plan9 but mostly specific to vectoring rather than rastering.
Something similar to dia http://dia-installer.de/
As far as rastering. I kind of think paint is fine but it would be nice to extend it a little more
add the ability for straight lines, dithering and a few other things.
Until you shared metafont I was resigned to build it using pic, troff and setup some sort of xml or yml
to hold the information before genrating or running some of those tools to render or generate
the appropriate output.
But the more I think about it I start talking myself out of it. I think its a lot of work. I was
thinking to use golang but I didn't want to piss off the 9fronters so C would be ideal but I wanted
some sort of extensible features or plugins using Lua. I feel like plan9 needs this.
Regardless. Nice find and I will spend more time reading about this. Thanks
