To my understanding, this is more or less what you get with RenderMan.

But there is another thing I forgot yesterday. OpenCascade.
OC ships with a testing application. Its works exactly the way you descri=
bed.
When you start it from a shell, the graphic window opens. Then you
can enter you commands into the shell. Like: "line myline1 0 0 0 10 10 10=
".
The created entities appear in the graphic window.
You can create curves, surfaces, topology, and apply lots of algorithms t=
o the created entities.
The graphic window can be edited also. You can pan, zoom, ...
