AFAIK Asy was written from scratch and there was no code forking. MP
is written in (this highly unweildy language called) WEBC whereas Asy
is in C++.

And I don't see why you would call that a snide remark. I personally
shifted to Asy once I discovered it and have been able to write much
more complex programs in it than I would have been able to write in
the macro-based language that is MetaPost...
