Hey, creator of Fornjot here.
Fornjot is written in Rust, so starting with Rust as the modeling language was the most straight-forward option. I do agree that Rust is not ideal for this use case.
Fornjot is architected to be language-agnostic. Long-term, I hope there will be a selection of interoperable options for the modeling language.

Neat!
And yes, I do agree the world needs a code first open source CAD program :-)
I've used openjscad in the past. It's fairly basic but easy enough to do the modeling part.
