We’re losing mindshare by being overcomplicated and verbose, I think. Working on that for the Python API.

Knowing nothing about X3d, I don't understand your intent in posting your examples; I have no way of understanding the significance of that code. I did look at web3d.org and can see that X3d could be a useful tool for someone to build tools to import 3D models to a GlowScript program, or to export a 3D model from GlowScript. However, GlowScript itself is aimed not at the expert programmers who use X3d but rather at people who may not be expert programmers, or not expert in computer graphics, who are enabled by GlowScript to write programs in Python (or JavaScript, a much less used option) that generate navigable real-time 3D animations as a side effect of calculations. Given the huge difference in expertise of users of GlowScript and users of X3d, I don't see any useful connections between these two worlds other than import and export, though of course this may simply be ignorance on my part.
