>a new 3D CAD software with an open source kernel and apple UI design, scriptable in swift
Why would a company take on such a huge undertaking then link it so intrinsically to just Apple platforms.
The next major CAD software will run in your browser, after seeing how Figma played out it's hard to imagine any design tooling targeting native anymore. Today Figma, tomorrow the software that dethrones Photoshop, eventually... 3D and CAD.
They wouldn’t probably. Just maybe it rankles apple that they have to have PCs to run Solidworks, or whatever, to design their iPhones and Macs, so their design studios don’t look as cool as they could do!
For construction, until you can be absolutely certain of getting satellite based full 5G reception everywhere, browser based CAD is a no-go. I have 3 building sites where there is either no phone reception at all or intermittent GPRS.
