[Haskell-cafe] ANN: mecha-0.1.0

[Tom Hawkins]

Mecha [1,2] is a constructive solid geometry (CSG) modeling language
embedded in Haskell.

This release adds OpenSCAD [3] as a backend target.  OpenSCAD is a
solid modeling DSL and a viewer.  OpenSCAD uses OpenCSG [4] for
rendering, which directly renders CSG objects with OpenGL without the
need for complex mesh generation.  (Thanks Corey, for pointing me to
OpenCSG.)

Here is a screenshot of OpenSCAD rendering a Mecha solid:
