Control: retitle -1 ITP: implicitcad -- Powerful, Open-Source, Programmatic CAD Control: owner: -1 3dprinter-general@lists.alioth.debian.org This looks awesome! It looks like it fixes all the problems I've been having with OpenSCAD. I very much want this in Debian, but if anyone wants to beat me to making a package, go for it. :-) Thanks, Bas On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 03:06:12PM +0100, Carlo Stemberger wrote: > Package: wnpp > Severity: wishlist > > * Package name : implicitcad > Version : 0.0.3 > Upstream Author : Christopher Olah <chris@colah.ca> > * URL : http://www.implicitcad.org/ > * License : GPL > Programming Lang: Haskell > Description : Powerful, Open-Source, Programmatic CAD > > ImplicitCAD is a programmatic CAD program, implemented in haskell.
