Every time this is posted I look at the "API reference" which sadly is severely lacking. Perhaps the software is actually limited to just a few primitives.

Libfive is the closest successor. Blender also starts to support implicit modeling. https://libfive.com/

Is there support for rounding / chamfering edges?
I no longer use OpenSCAD because its annoyingly complicated to do for non-trivial shapes.

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 ;)

So i have recently begun learning jewelry design using blender since there are a lot of videos on it out there but i have this sneaking suspicion i should be learning CAD instead... Thoughts?

Okay so this is a from-the-ground-up rewrite of OpenSCAD with a couple of bonus features?
