Nice work,
Can you please explain in detail, how it works or how to use this.

This Design simply uses OpenSCAD Animate Feature to simulate the milling
process of a certain g code program.

Use it as simply as replacing the given gcode program with your own
one(right now only g0-g3 are supported)
-> dont put a semicolon between the gcodes but put  only one at the end.

it is implemented by creating a deep chain of openscad childs.

Let me know ...

That is a great idea, which I have been considering --- but at this time, there's no animation.

Something like that.
I've been writing it up at:
https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/programming

and the code is on Github, and I've posted a bit about it on the Maker Forums.
Hopefully this evening I'll have a complete proof-of-concept, w/ a screengrab from a 3rd party G-code previewer.
