In the early 90s I wrote AutoLISP code for AutoCAD 9/10 that enabled a
CSV → template → parametric drawing workflow.
You could define components in spreadsheets, feed them through templates, and generate complete technical drawings automatically.
I've never seen anyone else use this approach. Now I've built an interpreter
in Rust/WASM so it can run in the browser - partly nostalgia, partly
preservation before this knowledge disappears entirely.
The lisp/ folder contains some LSP files from that era, others i recreated from memory.
What kind of drawings were you generating? Electrical schematics, mechanical parts, architecture?
We also have some playground, to toy around with LISP and some function generator, to demonstrate Lisp usage for math...
