Had to dive into MetaPost (and MetaFun) because of ConTeXt, and turns out it's the most closest thing to programming with prose language that I know. You can do pretty cool stuff without needing to dive in into complicated syntax - and do some pretty complicated stuff that at least would require a lot of mouse action with a graphics/vector editor.
