FYI, here’s a related thread:

> If you are familiar with programmatic CAD like OpenSCAD and ImplicitCAD, I am working on something similar in Julia called Descartes: [https://github.com/sjkelly/Descartes.jl](https://github.com/sjkelly/Descartes.jl). The project is very alpha, and I am focused on the general meshing infrastructure now (Meshing, DistMesh). The idea for Descartes is to integrate meshing+FEA into the programmatic design process so you can do parametric studies and topology optimization, or just setup a solid model or boundary and get an optimal mesh in re…

And here’s another Julia CAD package that was mentioned in that thread:
