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.

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)

OpenScad is great, but slow to render.
If you’d rather not use a different language, OpenSCAD’s standard(-ish) library, MCAD should also include some polyhedral thread utils too, I think.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing openscad and MCAD you can also consider the following projects:
SolidPython - A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD
implicit - A math-inspired CAD program in haskell. CSG, bevels, and shells; 2D & 3D geometry; 2D gcode generation...
Round-Anything - A set of OpenSCAD utilities for adding radii and fillets, that embodies a robust approach to developing OpenSCAD parts.
curv - a language for making art using mathematics
cherry-mx-keycaps - 3D models of keycaps in cherry profile.
