I've been messing around with OpenSCAD for a little. I am working on some 'art' projects that would make heavy use of geometric shapes and I love the idea of generating these things in code.

Another alternative that I've found, and like a lot, is OpenJSCAD. Very similiar to OpenSCAD but with javascript:

There's also ImplicitCAD, which is Haskell and actually more powerful in some ways. Unmaintained as of this summer, though.

http://www.implicitcad.org/

After looking at that site I'm baffled as to why it's not more popular.

It isn't quite done: https://github.com/colah/ImplicitCAD/issues

I found that it works for most thing but can produce broken STLs occasionally.
