It is mentioned on author's website though. https://www.fornjot.app/blog/the-world-needs-another-cad-pro...

>There is lots of interesting space between "hobbyist" and "can justify to spend loads of money", and I tend to find myself right in the middle of that.

Feels like an indie cad era is upon us. Plasticity, mart3d, antimony ..

>A CAD application, especially one with a custom CAD kernel, is a huge project.

What I've always found amusing is that there are actually quite a few geometric modeling kernels and every one of them costs a ton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_modeling_kernel

Speaking of cool Windows utilities for SysInternals Suite is an absolute winner. ZoomIt in particular is fun to use during demos

Wanted to mention that Windows PowerShell supports pretty CSV printing out of the box, like so

  Import-Csv .\Levels.csv | Format-Table

  Count Level elevation Level name Name              Object type Unique ID
  ----- --------------- ---------- ----              ----------- ---------
  1     -600.0000000    Store      -0,600 - Store    Level       dc611fed-1783-d759-053a-b19848c51491

Does it support collaboration mode? As in can I design diagrams with my colleagues?

>In the real world, picking up a new language takes a few weeks of effort and after 6 to 12 months nobody will ever notice you haven’t been doing that one for your entire career.

I've always been a bit baffled by notions like that. How in the world one becomes a professional in a foreign programming language tech in 6 months? It feels like every modern realworld battleworn programming stack (ecma, c++2x, .net, jvm w/e) is filled with nuances and quirks which, as it turns out, an engineer _must_ know about to be able to bump revenues a little bit and to call themselves a professional. Hell, even inside _one_ stack there are a lot of special interest fields. Is every C++ programmer a graphics programmer? Can a C++ programmer become one overnight? Highly doubt it.

>If a Python shop was looking for somebody technical to make them a pile of money, the fact that I’ve never written a line of Python would not get held against me.

How? How is that possible?

What about Unreal Blueprints, Dynamo BIM? Visual GUI doesn't make them less DSLish.

Hey, great post, looking forward for seeing brand new VS! Would you mind sharing a little bit of tech approach for your real-time collaboration features? OT, CRDT or a hybrid transactional approach of sorts?

Currently we are developing realtime collaboration for a CAD system called Renga and information is a bit scarce.
