I am currently trying to apply code-based CAD principles to my current project:

https://studio.flet.dev/run/bicQWc3Aul

do you know of a traditional CAD program which could be used to drive such designs/projects in a useful fashion? I'm currently contemplating a re-write to use a Domain Specific Language....

Would you be interested in evaluating (or having your LLMs check out) my geometry kernel Aetheris for your project? I already have DSL (called Firmament) parser/lexer/AST part down, and it is designed to be easy to extend, so you don't have to write everything from scratch.

One of my goals when I built the kernel is I want to make building a pro grade CAD software as easy as wrapping a web frontend around the Aetheris libraries. It's still very much an aspirational goal though.

Interesting. I'll have to try to look into what the integration of flet.dev/Python w/ that code looks like.

Use Forge.Host for integration and call boundaries with Python. The Firmament DSL is probably a lot lower level than what most Code CAD is used to, because it's closer to LLVM IR of "build your own language frontend over kernel operation" type of deal.
