Re:Show HN: FluidCAD – Parametric CAD with JavaScript on Thursday April 16, 2026 @06:57PM (#47800586)
This looks awesome – I'm excited to try it!

I've been using OpenSCAD and Build123D so far, but OpenSCAD is limited and Build123D is Python and I'd much rather use JS/TS.

So when you do a sketch and then call extrude, why the implicit connection there? Why not assign the sketch to a const and then do `s.extrude`?

Great work so far!
