Tangential, do LLMs generate D2 code as easily as Mermaid and do tools like Github and Confluence render them?

Really happy to see this - A few months ago the D2 `play` site looked like it was down or unreachable and I was pretty bummed. It came back, but it did make me wonder about the future of the project - awesome to see that TALA will be released, sorry to hear the company behind it is shutting down.

This is an interesting twist. While I get the rationale, I remain a bit concerned. I do hope the project remains successful, d2 is great!

This is going to be really interesting.
What does the future of new programming languages look like in the era of AI?

So is TALA[1] continuing to be developed and/or being open sourced?

Yes, I'm planning to open-source it tomorrow.

In the post it says "I'll be making posts as TALA and D2 Studio are released." so I assume/hope so?

Just to be clear, this doesn't seem to be based on Walter Bright's D language. Maybe people already know that, but I didn't.

It's pretty clear when you visit the website though.

It isn't since there is not much about what it is!

The first sentence of the main site is "D2: Declarative Diagramming - A modern language that turns text to diagrams", followed by multiple code snippets and the resulting diagrams.

I click the thingy and don't see that, I know D2 as the big language split for Dlang, I click around, I still can't tell what this is.

Oh, does that already integrate with GitHub? Need to check how it deals with layouts and arrows in comparison to Mermaid

I like the mermaid sequence diagrams more. But D2 for everything else. No GitHub integration yet though.

I'm confused - why is hackclub (a project dedicated to teens) financing this project maintained by an openai infra person?

I welcome AI contributions and will use AI to review your AI, etc. The exception is writing -- I will author all blog posts and comms without AI.
Really cool, seems like the right balance.
