This looks really cool. I use freecad but find it really frustrating to use, this might be more my style.

They also provide the geometric constraint solving algorithm separately as a library. Incredible.

Indeed -- it's actually used in the FreeCAD Assembly 3 workbench as a solver (I think that supports switchable/pluggable alternatives now though)
