What software tools are used for this sort of work?
I'm aware of/have tried:
- Processing (as well as processing.py)
- Nodebox
- OpenSCAD (and its derivative PythonSCAD which allows using Python in it)
EDIT: and METAPOST/Asymptote/TikZ which I forgot to mention
What other tools would folks recommend?
Overtone (clojure) for music https://overtone.github.io/
Bauble https://bauble.studio/about/
Nannou (rust) https://nannou.cc/
Quil (clojure) http://www.quil.info/
Open Frameworks (C++) https://openframeworks.cc/
The new nature of code book was updated to use p5 instead of processing and a fun way to start. As is the "coding train videos" which are interesting in the seem for kids but cover more advanced topics..

I used p5.j5 to merge DNA sequences and my photographs. People seem to like them ( they've been accepted to jurrored shows)
I make they layers in p5 then manipulate in gimp.
I put some online: https://aramcomjean.smugmug.com/DNA-is-Just-Part
