scad-clj VS relativity.scad

As for Gamma: I wasn't really aware of CadQuery, but I did use OpenSCAD extensively, when designing my Lagrange keyboard. Gamma started as a way to address some aspects I didn't find quite satisfactory (as, to be fair, I can't say I had any real problems). Also to be fair, I used OpenSCAD through a frontend(scad-clj) translating Clojure code to its native language and some of the problems may have been due to that, but that is also one of the issues I had with OpenSCAD: why have to learn a new language when there are existing embedabble scripting languages, you might now already, of if not, which you might use elsewhere and which, having years of development, will likely be better?

I wonder how many OpenSCAD wrappers now exist? I know of scad-clj [0], openpyscad [1], and solidpython [2].

I particularly like scad-clj, because of `lein auto generate`. It watches source files, and regenerates the OpenSCAD files automatically, which OpenSCAD then also picks up. Although I'm not well versed in Clojure, and find debugging Clojure tricky, the workflow is just so good.

There is a small clojure project that transpiles clojure to openscad, (if I remember correctly...)

Demonstrated and talked about in this clip:

> Much like sendmail.cf files.

That's an exaggeration, neing as bad as sendmail.cf is not possible.

However, I agree, it's pretty darn bad.

So bad in fact that someone had to write an OpenSCAD parser in OpenSCAD just to be able to do what he wanted:
