The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Unexpected behavior from rotate_extrude
Yep happens here in 2023.03.05, weird - I guess you could lodge a bug and see what happens

manifold backend is just merged
1.) Check out the latest github source and follow the build directions: https://github.com/openscad/openscad
Just to share the news that https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/4533 is just merged, which uses https://github.com/elalish/manifold for multithreaded rendering. CUDA is not yet enabled but there is already a large speedup over fastcsg. The long standing https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/391 will probably close soon! You can now use multiple cores to do rendering!

I built an online Dactyl Generator, but with fast previews and STL export
https://github.com/elalish/manifold provides fast csg operations (WIP PR for using manifold as backend for OpenSCAD: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/4533) and wasm build (manifoldcad.org).

What is the bottleneck in OpenSCAD rendering?
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/391 (this issue was opened in 2013, still open)
So OpenSCAD could be sped up of CGAL could be sped up. In the github repository is/was a pull request to do something like that, but the request was not accepted because some of the automated tests did not pass.

For Dactyl Manuform builders using OpenSCAD - huge render speedup with fast-csg
If you catch a performance regression please open an issue! https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues

Is there a way to assign properties to solid objects?
Sadly, no. There's been a bunch of talk on implementing these functionalities, for various contexts - materials, colors, parts, etc. Sadly, the gist is that those properties won't get through the renderer.

Show HN: Make 3D art in your browser using Lisp and math
There's also ImplicitCAD (https://github.com/Haskell-Things/ImplicitCAD) which produces STLs, as it is designed for CAD. It uses implicit functions, which I believe are similar to SDFs (I believe the idea is not to necessarily correspond to the distance function).

I printed a waistband tightener to hold my skirt up!
ImplicitCAD is essentially OpenSCAD with bevels.

OpenScad is great, but slow to render.
You might take a look at ImplicitCAD. It accepts OpenSCAD code (as well as some other more exotic formats) and can render much much faster depending on resolution. There's an online editor/renderer here that would tell you whether it can handle your existing code unmodified.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing openscad and implicit you can also consider the following projects:
SolidPython - A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD
brick - A declarative Unix terminal UI library written in Haskell
plot-light - A lightweight plotting library, exporting to SVG
curv - a language for making art using mathematics
opengles - A simplified OpenGL ES core wrapper library for Haskell.
cherry-mx-keycaps - 3D models of keycaps in cherry profile.
delaunay - Generates a Delaunay triangulation of a set of points
gelatin - A nice Haskell graphics API. There's always room for jello.
dotSCAD - Reduce the burden of mathematics when playing OpenSCAD
