Try openscad instead, it also convert text into CAD, but you can type structured code :-)

I'm not sure if you actually clicked through - while OpenSCAD is absolutely dope, Zoo Design Studio offers the same capabilities and more.

Just like OpenSCAD, ZDS offers a code CAD experience if you like. It's a hybrid between the two worlds of traditional CAD and code CAD.

Unlike OpenSCAD, you can have real typed code. You can specify real dimensions. That's not a thing in OpenSCAD.

Unlike OpenSCAD, ZDS generates STEP files with BREP geometry. OpenSCAD outputs meshes only.

I'm a huge OpenSCAD lover, but to dismiss this so fast is a bit disingenuous :)

Yeah i looked at the site, but its not for me.

I guess some people new to 3D drawing might like it, but i don't see it used professionally.
