Hi,
unfortunally I wasn't able to build Blender on my PC for now. (last time it worked was 2 years ago. Since then I tried it multiple times for a few days....). So design comes first, I think I have way to less C knowledge to help coding for such a big project. Maybe later. As you said it will take a long time to get to an usable state. I'm currently thinking about if it is possible to combine modifiers, mesh creation (something like sverchok?), constraints and other animation stuff (not simulation!) in one system.I think that are things that can go hand in hand. My addon is already a bit of a combination of all these things and it works quite fine. Simulation on the other hand is more difficult I guess and I have no idea how to unify e.g. particle nodes with hair stuff.
