A hybrid approach where you could "sketch" with SolveSpace, but then generate OpenSCAD style code that you could later edit would be amazing.

The main advantage of OpenSCAD is that it doesn't "blow up" when you change a variable to be out of some range where things work. In OpenSCAD, you can put it back if it does cause a problem.

Changing a dimension in SolveSpace sometimes throws off the whole design. SolveSpace's precision, constraints, and great keyboard user interface make it a fun program to design parts in. It is among the best open source tools out there.

Alternately, it would be way cool to have a modeling language which would make designs for Solvespace.
