Programming is my day job, so being able to think of solid objects in terms of code just makes sense to me. I find myself using OpenSCAD more and more just for sketching out ideas, and experimenting with shapes that would be hard to make using traditional CAD.

I dream of a day when parametric CAD is bundled with a usable package library. Being able to `import` versioned parts would be a huge upgrade, and would lead to the development of better standard libraries.

There are also some land mines around the rendering process, e.g. shapes that render just fine as a preview, but will crash the CGAL renderer. I’ve also had the opposite happen. It seems like there’s room to add better validation (or maybe a way of automatically simplifying ASTs?) before they hit the renderer.
