CadQuery (python lib that wraps freecad's CAD kernel) is a bit more similar to a traditional CAD system in terms of how it constructs parts (workplane, etc).
Also, onshape.com (commercial with hobby free tier) has a scripting interface that i believe is js-like (i have not yet had to use it, but i use onshape quite a bit for hobby projects). Their versioning and importing of community parametric parts is pretty tight imo.

- jf___ 7y agono, CadQuery is a wrapper on top of PythonOCC
