https://build123d.readthedocs.io/ is IMO a much better choice than openscad and implicitcad. Describing your objects in Python is just how things should be (at least for me ;)

Writing a transpiler targeting OpenScad is trivial, at least the part that is comparable to a markup language. Control flow, arithmetic and datastructures can be handled one level above in the transpiled language, because OpenScad never produces data – you can't ask it to determine the volume of an union for instance – so two way communication between your code and the geometric engine is not an issue. Just like build123d it seems.
