It’s hard to believe this is the first time I’ve seen Grasshopper on HN!
Just this morning, a colleague showed me a web app for building option exploration that he had vibe coded on Replit that wrapped around existing core logic in a Grasshopper script hosted in RhinoCompute [1].
The combination of visual programming, the tree data structure and Rhino’s geometry engine has made this the de facto standard for parametric design in architecture (sorry, Dynamo…)
