I started on something like this, and it kept me occupied for a few months
until I realized that I only really wanted it for myself so that I could
make pictures. I decided that the shorter path to that end would be to just
use SDL instead of learning C++ and trying to write a text based modeler.

My plan was not to write a full language like SDL or your Sapphire, however.
I was just going to write a very large set of C++ libraries which performed
several of the unusual algorithms I have devised for mesh building in
Pov-Ray alnog with some more traditional algorithms and spline uses. I'm
back to working on pictures now, trying an IRTC entry.
