For people interested in coding CAD in React, my team built a react fiber layer over jscad and are investing heavily into building an MIT-licensed 3d electronics library: https://github.com/tscircuit/jscad-fiber
I don't think you need a custom language to declare CAD, typescript/python have heavily invested in type systems so I hope the world moves more toward using existing languages.
The biggest limitation with code-CAD today is the lack of a constraint system (e.g. a clean way to say "these edges are 3mm apart") without X/Y coordinates everywhere. We're slowly building higher-level components that allow you to specify constraints so that you can write CAD in a way that more closely mimics the design intent, rather than a bunch of calculations.
OpenSCAD started it all so we're very grateful, but it's also time for some innovation to bring the language closer to design intent
I've been using jscad for years. Love it, still using it actively almost every day. I also use React/JSX every day for work and personal projects. That said, I'm not sure I like the mash-up of jscad-fiber after taking a look at the github page. Maybe it just doesn't fit my use-case of building several complex parts that have to interface with each other. I'm sure there is a use case for it though. It doesn't seem like jscad-fiber supports things like measureBoundingBox or any lower level stuff. There's a lot of depth to jscad, it's an amazing project.
