No Designing a programmatic CAD language atop NVIDIA's specialized usd-brep boundary representation kernel demands advanced computational geometry and domain-specific language compiler engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires building an AST and parser/interpreter (in Rust or C++) for the custom CAD grammar that maps geometric operations (extrusions, fillets, booleans) to OpenUSD and NVIDIA's usd-brep schemas. Success depends on deep expertise in boundary representation (B-Rep) geometry, NURBS, topology validation, and USD scene graph authoring.
