Are there any cross-platform high-level fully programmatic mobile frameworks like Apple's SceneKit, SpriteKit, and GameplayKit that do not depend on special IDEs or visual editors?
good engines for C++ that meet your requirements https://github.com/u3d-community/U3D https://github.com/rbfx/rbfx i highly recommend taking a look at rbfx, U3D doesn't have all the fancy features that rbfx has but deep down they are the same engine almost. They are forks of Urho3D, a mature engine that has existed from the year of 2011/2010.
- The Icculus Microgrant is giving out 250 dollar grants to open source projects, please brag about your project(s) in this thread so I can see them!

Searching for Reliable Cross-Platform Rendering Framework (C/C++)
Urho3D is dead. There is the U3D project which is essentially a maintenance fork made after the original project was taken over by a crazy Russian nationalist. There is also rbfx which is a progression fork that is working to make improvements such as to the PBR rendering pipeline, making it work with C# if desired, as well as rebuilding and improving the editor. The original Urho3D is soon to be even more dead than currently, since the discourse forum is set for archival and deactivation at 4:00 AM tomorrow morning.

As of 2023, what is the state of things regarding C/C++ 3D graphics libraries for the web?
Go to: https://github.com/rbfx/rbfx, they have a discord but IIRC it's basically just a CMake build so you flip the flags to say "WebGL" or "Emscripten" or w/e and CMake will basically tell you everything that's wrong.
- rbfx: Game engine with (optional) C# support and WYSIWYG editor.
- Cross-platform open-source game engine with C# support and Unity-like editor
- Rbfx: Open-source game engine with Unity-like editor and C# support

Unity merges with IronSource
If anyone is looking for a Unity alternative, the guys at rbfx are doing a great job revamping the old Urho3D codebase: https://github.com/rbfx/rbfx
It has good C# scripting support, a nice editor and modern rendering pipeline.

Game engine for programmars
You could try Urho3D or its newer fork rbfx.

Preferred game engine
I use an engine called rbfx which is a fork of the Urho3D engine. A lot of it is just the fact that I've been using it for over a decade, so I am comfortable with it. I'm a programmer, not really comfortable with integrated editor engines such as Unity or Godot, and the easy C++ extensibility of the engine appeals to me. Plus it's decently powerful, and well supported on a lot of platforms (I build for Windows, WebGL, and very occasionally RPi for the most part) and is open source to satisfy that stubbornly libertarian side of my character.
