For anyone interested in this, I would also recommend checking out the [antimony project](https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony). It's a parametric modeling program, but you can also pretty easily produce new scripts for its visual nodes.

Support for Javascript?

This sub is understandably enthusiastic about the OpenSCAD language, but I’m with you in preferring existing general purpose languages. For browser-enabled Python & OpenSCAD, check out ViewSCAD, or for basic Python, see my SolidPython
