    I forgot to add, at the time in 2014 I was working on this project

    which lead to this one:

    As I was taking a break from writing that "wall of text" last night, I finished my "Homer's Donut" shape, a 3D torus with a 0 - 360 degree arc to connect pipe-like shapes. My pipe-routing code is almost finished as of this morning.

    My parents also taught me to "pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again." Peter Tosh too. So I guess another trite quote, "It's hard to innovate when you keep receiving 'being hit over the head' lessons."

    10 years is generous paternity leave. :) Seriously though, no hard feelings, separating the wheat from the free software chaff takes time--ask me how I know.

    > interactive editor like mged with lisp wrapping BRL-CAD's libged editing library

    That interests me!

    IME, I have found S-expressions to be an elegant, succinct way of expressing geometric models (especially in the F-rep domain):

    https://github.com/JMC-design/tovero/blob/master/examples/ro...

    I wrote a referencing counting C++ reader/writer for S-expression models like that directly into Open Inventor, in place of the IV (VRML) format, avoiding the use of CL.

    Emacs has a C FFI, IIRC, so it should be possible to develop a S-exp formatted BRL-CAD model in elisp, with the right C shims--giving a live-coding, REPL experience for building BRL-CAD models.

    Thanks for your work on BRL-CAD!

    I am in very early stages of writing a graphics engine in Lisp that uses SDFs, but the progress is slow (lack of experience, plus need to focus more on a new job and less on hobby projects). If you are also interested, here'a a repo full of all kinds of research work to implement a SDF based engine.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing tovero and SDF you can also consider the following projects:

wgpu-native - Native WebGPU implementation based on wgpu-core

cl-vulkan - Vulkan bindings for Common Lisp.

curated-code-cad - A list of the various code-cad projects out there.

vk - Common Lisp/CFFI bindings for the Vulkan API.

kons-9 - Common Lisp 3D Graphics Project

xi-editor - A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

libfive - Infrastructure for solid modeling
