Ideaâ„¢:
a 2d/ #3d #editor toolset in the #UNIX / #Plan9 spirit, where operations are built as small executables
annd the whole thing works a bit like #Houdini (ie.: almost everything is non-destructive and lots of procedural support) and the main editor takes care of caching immediate results
uuuuh and that's as far as I've thought, but this could be worth exploring
