When I design a scene, in code, in POV-Ray, I don't need much interactivity as one keeps the whole composition in one's head. Same as in the past using AutosCAD, all done through the command-line (Auto-lisp). A proper, expressive, GUI DSL would be nice for UI's. It could become a strong point for Nim.
