Agreed! I’m already working on it, but it’s not quite ready yet. ETA is 1-2 weeks.

Really interesting! I actually use freecad so I'm use to that layer of the process but I'll check this out. Also good to see the work being done in modeling software these days

Love it! OpenSCAD has very painful syntax. Is it possible to easily do bevels/chamfers or does it have the same limitations as OpenSCAD there?
Is it able to access the file system and write/read files?
I've been doing that via PythonSCAD for my current project https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview and it might be interesting to do a re-write in another language.

Yes, it executes in a full fledged Lua environment. So you can do all the things you expect do be able to do with Lua!
I’d pick Lua over Python any day, but maybe that’s just me. ;-)

I've had good success w/ using Lua in LuaLaTeX, so hopefully a good fit for me to exercise my programming chops. I think it will be interesting to maintain two parallel versions for comparison/contrast. Thanks!
