It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.
The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

You can do parametric design in other CAD software, but openscad, being a coding software, lends itself particularly well for that.
In my experience doing parametric design in Fusion360 is a lot more tedious than in OpenSCAD.
I think the biggest benefit is sharing.
While you can do parametric design in Fusion, if you share it you can only share it with people using Fusion. Same with other CAD software, you are limiting the userbase.
OpenSCAD on the other hand is a slim FOS tool that anyone can download, it’s not limited.
