<p>Hi. About my intentions to work on an interactive tool it is certainly not as a full fledged front-end in the sense of it can read/write any MP code. </p>
<p>All I wanted was the Hobby smooth curves algorithm. And even re that, despite Taco's help by adding the requisite C API, I wasn't comfortable with the actual implementation language CWEB or the custom build tools that are required because of it. </p>
<p>I have since been more comfortable and had some success with extracting the algorithm from Asymptote's C++ code.</p>
<p>BTW Asy has preliminary work on a PyTK based front-end called xasy. You might find that useful and maybe easier to contribute code to (because it's Python).</p>
