There is actually, though I suspect it's a different one I found.

https://github.com/jopdorp/build123d-freecad (it also supports cadquery)

Set it up today and I am really liking build123d in general. I've always wanted something code-based for CAD and I can't believe I missed something this promising.

Frankly even the visualization tools that you can plugin like OCP Cad viewer mean that outside of complex assemblies you can do everything in your editor of choice.

I'm playing with this now too and it's really wonderful. I'm hoping that I can use build123d 100% for modelling individual parts and then FreeCAD for assemblies, simulations, etc.
