I definitely would use version based cad programs with coding options but the pickings are pretty slim for industrial applications aside from the big players. Particularly programs that can be custom built to the users needs.

Solidworks and Catia are often seen as unbeatable for industry but there are so many issues with them, particularly when used in smaller companies or startups. Need Mac support, never. Need multi-threading support, nope never going to implement it. Update the graphics so it doesn't look so ancient and clunky, never. Fusion/autocad are good but are full of bugs and the cloud service is annoying (e.g. I continuously have to delete log files to open the program). Being picky but this stuff shouldn't be hard by now given how long CAD has been around.

Are there any projects using something like rust or c++ to do a build and customise style cad program with versioning? I've tried cadquery, libfive etc. and none really fit the bill.
