●●●BangerWizardryZero to OneNiche Gem

OpenSCAD syntax with OpenCASCADE backend finally exports STEP files instead of meshes.

Strengths
  • OpenCASCADE B-Rep kernel solves OpenSCAD's mesh export limitation for CAM workflows.
  • 100% AI-written by assembly programmer using opencode and Big Pickle agent — wild story.
  • Portable zero-install distribution with Fossil repo keeps everything self-contained.
Weaknesses
  • Single developer revival means long-term maintenance depends on one person's interest.
  • Fossil hosting instead of GitHub may limit community contributions and discoverability.
