I can't get this to build - XCode 7.3.1 - and there don't seem to be any requirements in the SETUP.md that I can see - anyone know what it takes to get this to build?

I can't tell for sure from that limited information, but the most recent commit has comment "upgrade to xcode 8/swift 3" . AFAIK, Xcode 7 doesn't do Swift 3.

You are right. I have added a note to the readme.

Are there any other projects similar to this? (I'm working on something related but this came as a surprise: I've never even heard about this project even though a have been researching fanatically in this topic.)

There is also http://aprt.us/ which works more in a declarative way rather than a procedural way. (discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10293368)

I've done some (not quite similar) experiments: https://vimeo.com/160730056

I wanted a quick way to edit code and see live results - to make it easier to explore/test new combinations.

I know about them both, but thanks anyway. I follow BV and Toby Schachman too on Twitter. (and Eve, Chris Granger, CDG Labs and also HARC). You are the first new one in a year or so.

You might consider utilizing Geometric Algebra. A lot of geometry-related things are straightforward to express with it, and there's a nice C++ library that implements it.

Are you talking about Versor? It's what came up when I Googled it.

There's that one, and there's another one described here: http://www.geometricalgebra.net/
