stepcode
STEPcode (formerly NIST's STEP Class Library) is used with IFC, STEP, and other standards that utilize the technologies of ISO10303 (STEP). It generates C++ and Python from EXPRESS (10303-11) schemas. The code is capable of reading and writing STEP Part 21 exchange files. It also utilizes Parts 22 and 23 (SDAI and its C++ binding).

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.

Fornjot: A next-generation Code-CAD application
There is also STEPcode [1], which can read and write STEP using C++, it has been kept up to date by the BRL-CAD people and is used by them.
I think modifying Open CASCADE Technology would be a lot easier than starting again.

Fornjot: A next-generation Code-CAD application
I have been working on a .net wrapper for opencascade (https://github.com/veggielane/EngrCAD) but opencascade interop from .net is a pain. I also fell in and out of love with SDF, as most CAM tools need BREP.
I agree with people in this thread, the world needs more CAD kernels. I also think that we need a language agnostic markup language to represent the BREP.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing stepcode and EngrCAD you can also consider the following projects:
CascadeStudio - A Full Live-Scripted CAD Kernel in the Browser
opencascade.js - Port of the OpenCascade CAD library to JavaScript and WebAssembly via Emscripten.
fornjot - Early-stage b-rep CAD kernel, written in the Rust programming language.
Fornjot - The world needs another CAD program.
constraints - An experiment in writing algebraic constraint solvers for 3D CAD
truck - Truck is a Rust CAD Kernel.
ruststep - A STEP toolkit for Rust
