Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD
OpenSCAD is frequently written on the same level as M4 macro language, or assembly code with no comments. If you're bad at mental arithmetic and bad at keeping track complicated internal state, like LLMs are, you will have a bad time.
Look at the one linked below, for instance. This is from the official OpenSCAD repo, examples folder. There is no way for even an experienced programmer to understand and successfully modify that code without sitting down with a pencil and paper and doing arithmetic and geometry for half an hour.
