Up: Constructive solid geometry
Code: DSL libraries for CSG, CSG software, ...
- B-Rep – OpenSCAD – OpenSCADs website – (uses CGAL under the hood – C/C++)
Interestingly OpenSCAD ...
- ... is a 100% pure/denotative/side-effect-free by design. But as of 2021 it ...
- ... is not a higher order functional language with functions as "first class citizens".
There are quite a few copycat projects of OpenSCAD around.
Unfortunately they all seem to fail to implement a hard guarantee on code purity – (inheriting impurity from their substrate language).
Beyond OpenSCAD of the software artifacts listed here only implicitcad can give hard guarantees on purity (there enforced by types).

- B-Rep – csg.js – (javascript library)
- F-Rep – libfive (formerly AO) by Matt Keeter (on github) — (guile scheme software)
- F-Rep – Foglemans SDF library — (python library)
- F-Rep – implicitcad – (haskell DSL)
- F-Rep – MiniSageCAD experiment on Thingiverse (implemented in the sage computer algebra system)
- F-Rep (2D) – rendering engine of the enso programming language (rust library)
- F-Rep SDF-code on shadertoy – many examples there
– Raymarching - Primitives ~ by iq
