Ask HN: Is there any node based CAD FOSS alternative for rhino/grashopper?

Hi HN!

I am incredibly efficient in modeling futuristic shapes and things in rhino with the embedded grashopper parametric node based editor. Is there any good alternative which is open source?

Thx!

Dynamo [1] has a similar feature set and is technically open source but it won't work without Autodesk's geometry engine and I presume it's mostly Autodesk engineers contributing to it. Useful if you want to do procedural modeling in Revit though Grasshopper also supports Revit.

Not open source but Nodepen [2] is kind of like Grasshopper but web based.
