[metapost] MP vs. Asymptote

[Mau]

I don't want to start a flame, but since someone posted a message some
time ago mentioning Asymptote I got curious and I have to say that I was
very impressed, even if I still have some problems with it. However, it
seems a net improvement over MP, or not? Is there anyone with an
informed opinion over Asymptote? Might Asymptote be the killer of MP?

Cheers,
(and always thanks for the help I got here now and then...)
