This is exciting news. And I enjoyed to learn that some investigation on adding parallelism has been done. OpenSCAD is my main design driver, so when I hit these performance corners, it'd drive me nuts.
OpenSCAD and https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib is a winning combo.
- sydthrowaway 5y agoUh no, you need BOSL2
- wilsonjholmes 5y agoYes! Its wonderful!
- ravenstine 5y agoAnd threadlib.

- ravenstine 5y agoDefinitely, but I also consider that a good thing. What I really never liked about most tools for creating media is they try and do way too much. My mindset is close to that of UNIX philosophy, thus I like that out of all the 3D/CAD tools I've used, OpenSCAD pretty much does one thing out of the box... and does it adequately. I like that it doesn't pretend it can do everything I want, but when there's something I need it to do, like add threads or screws to a project, there's probably a library for that because OpenSCAD is already code-oriented rather than the code coming second. dotSCAD looks dope! I hadn't heard of it, but now I know what I'll be playing with next time I spin up my 3D printer.
