CGAL: Computational Geometry Algorithms Library

Re:CGAL: Computational Geometry Algorithms Library by bradford on Tuesday November 22, 2022 @01:25PM (#33709071)

Does anyone know of similar libraries for other programming languages? (in particular, python, c#).

I realize c++ is a good choice for performance reasons, but the hobbyist in me is already committed to Unity/Godot.

(regardless, I really appreciate the user manual in this library. Having an explanation of the algorithms (not just an implementation) really helps.)

I've seen that there are Python wrappers for some of CGAL https://github.com/sciencectn/cgal-bindings but I haven't used them.

Several years ago I used FEniCS mshr which wraps CGAL for Python, but I am unsure if is still maintained or if they went for a Gmsh wrapper instead, or abandoned the idea of constructive solid geometry from Python code completely. I have not followed FEniCS closely in the last few years.
