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.

OpenSCAD Survey - what programming language do you want to be added to app?
There is a lot of work going on for adding Python. Guenther pushed a PR with code from PythonSCAD . It is under technical review - design, api and code. https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4880 this is the tracking bug.

remove fastcsg option
Please let me know if you have any comments about this, I want to make sure that this will not break anyone's workflow. Feel free to reply here or in the github issue https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4870

PSA: Try manifold and report bugs!
Short edges (e.g. due to very high $fn) can cause bug in the triangulator, there is a fix for this but is not ready for merging. (https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4679)

anyway to change the default "render complete" chime?
Found this, not sure if it's useful: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/ac1d89f2381f8d4b6eaf0492c8ba1666d7d7f393/sounds/complete.wav

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
curv - a language for making art using mathematics
plot-light - A lightweight plotting library, exporting to SVG
cherry-mx-keycaps - 3D models of keycaps in cherry profile.
opengles - A simplified OpenGL ES core wrapper library for Haskell.
