    Hi everyone! Gram creator here.

    I developed this after visiting makerspaces around the world and finding that parametric design was too inaccessible. I also wanted to provide people with a tool to learn about powerful ideas in programming while making stuff.

    It draws lots of inspiration from the Logo language and I received a lot of feedback from some of Logo's creators. While drawing inspiration from Logo, Gram is actually quite different with tools like layers and lots of built-in functions for making things which can be fabricated.

    Nicely implemented. The ability to play with parameters on-the-fly is great. Also, the generated svg imports into inkscape perfectly.
