Programmatic 3D modeling

Pure languages - more or less usable for programmatic CAD

• OpenSCAD (easy to learn) in both function and geometry realm which are kept separate (which is sometimes annoying)

---

• haskell (hard to learn) there are 3D modeling libraries like ImplicitCAD lack of a live preview is a big issue though
• elm (easy to learn) not aimed at 3D modelling – can do 3D stuff but not for expot for manufacturing
• unison (mid level to learn) not aimed at 3D modelling – no 3D libraries yet :( still early

Languages requiring manual discipline (which always fails because it can)

• libfive (guile scheme or python)
• python based OpenSCAD clones
• Javascrip B-Rep CSG libraries: https://evanw.github.io/csg.js/
• ...
