Timeline (last 90 days)
PuraMetric is closer to SolidWorks; according to developer MaleficentRelease61 on Reddit, it is written in Rust and JavaScript, took only about one month to develop, and used Claude Opus 5.5 to assist development.
PuraMetric lacks keyboard letter labels, and common SolidWorks shortcuts such as the S key, the spacebar, and right-click scroll wheel are completely nonfunctional.
PuraMetric lacks SolidWorks' ability to flexibly select contour regions for extrusion or cut, so users can only go back into the sketch to delete lines.
The PuraMetric developer predicted on Reddit: give it one to two years, and job opportunities for software developers will be as scarce as those for blacksmiths, and the entire industry will be doomed.
