I used OpenScad a few years ago and was also initially horrified by the language until someone pointed to me the "nightly build" versions which supported the functional feel and compositions that I think you are describing. Those made a world of difference for me. I wonder if the parent is referring to a really old version (many Linux distributions still ship those). Just a guess.

- radarsat1 7y agoAh that might explain it. I picked it up recently from scratch using the nightly build (via snap) so I'm not aware of the history of the language.
- ptero 7y agoThe old version language was bad to the extent that after playing with the tool for a few hours my thought was "why did you cripple such a good idea with such a bad language"??? I seriously considered digging out the Dragon Book to write a better language front end to it.
