Fall in Love with Asymptote

Because I need to draw several elements and their nodes index like tetrahedron, hexahedron, and etc in FEA, I thought I can use MetaPost with LaTeX. When I tried to learn and master MetaPost, I found many people say Asymptote is also powerful at drawing vector graphics language and it is especially good for programmers to use. At the same time, Asymptote is good at 3D drawing. So I decided to use it. Then I searched its learning materials on-line and installed it by the instruction of the material. The installation was successful and I made my first Asymptote figure which looks so good. It's very similar to C/C++ language, so there's so difficulty for me to use it. After a configuration of my VIM and latex, I could write Asymptote code very quickly with VIM and compiled the code with LaTeX. I tried several examples and after that I started doing what I intended to do immediately. Before I went to bed, I finished the job. It look so nice. Writing Asymptote was a joy!
This is the story of yesterday night. Even though I have just known Asymptote for one day, I'm deeply falling in love with her.
Show you my work of yesterday night, lol~

Writing (maybe 'Using') Asymptote was a joy!
