I am concerned that TikZ will eventually not work with ConTeXt, so for a long term solution I am trying to make diagrams with Metapost, using Lua to do the heavy computational work. This is not easy, but the diagrams are super fast, and I think they will always work.
I would be very interested to see an example of a Metafun drawing made with the help of LuaTeX to speed up some calculations.
Thanks !
