Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Better OpenSCAD?

The Orb: a parametric trackball with BTU mounted ball and keyboard switches for buttons
As for Gamma: I wasn't really aware of CadQuery, but I did use OpenSCAD extensively, when designing my Lagrange keyboard. Gamma started as a way to address some aspects I didn't find quite satisfactory (as, to be fair, I can't say I had any real problems). Also to be fair, I used OpenSCAD through a frontend(scad-clj) translating Clojure code to its native language and some of the problems may have been due to that, but that is also one of the issues I had with OpenSCAD: why have to learn a new language when there are existing embedabble scripting languages, you might now already, of if not, which you might use elsewhere and which, having years of development, will likely be better?

GhostSCAD: Marrying OpenSCAD and Golang
I wonder how many OpenSCAD wrappers now exist? I know of scad-clj [0], openpyscad [1], and solidpython [2].
I particularly like scad-clj, because of `lein auto generate`. It watches source files, and regenerates the OpenSCAD files automatically, which OpenSCAD then also picks up. Although I'm not well versed in Clojure, and find debugging Clojure tricky, the workflow is just so good.

- I must say I had been kinda ambivalent about OpenSCAD until now, but I discovered SolidPython and am absolutely delighted. This is what I had hoped OpenSCAD would be.

Code CAD – Use code to create CAD models
There is a small clojure project that transpiles clojure to openscad, (if I remember correctly...)
https://github.com/farrellm/scad-clj
Demonstrated and talked about in this clip:
What are some alternatives?
KrakenZPlayground - Fun interaction and play with NZXT Kraken Z AIOs
openpyscad - Python library to generate OpenSCAD source code. This library provides intuitive interface when you handle 3D data.
svg2gcode_grbl - Python script to convert svg to gcode for GRBL firmware
OpenJSCAD.org - JSCAD is an open source set of modular, browser and command line tools for creating parametric 2D and 3D designs with JavaScript code. It provides a quick, precise and reproducible method for generating 3D models, and is especially useful for 3D printing applications.
psml - Python library for OpenSCAD
oce - OpenCASCADE Community Edition (OCE): a community driven fork of the Open CASCADE library.
SolidPy - 3D Object Design: Python -> OpenSCAD -> Solid Model
antimony - CAD from a parallel universe
FreePySCAD - Like openscad but in python inside freecad
VisualScriptCAD - A simple visual scripting based 3D modeling application.
libfive - Infrastructure for solid modeling
fswatch - A cross-platform file change monitor with multiple backends: Apple OS X File System Events, *BSD kqueue, Solaris/Illumos File Events Notification, Linux inotify, Microsoft Windows and a stat()-based backend.
