- How does D2 handle larger diagrams with lots of connections?
This has been my issue with PlantUML and Mermaid. The routing tends to blow up when you have a bunch of lines that run out to a thing (i.e. rather than snaking together they just go everywhere).
- Happy to hear this. Is go the right language for d2 or could it be worth considering js? The WASM solution seems pretty heavyweight, and it would be amazing to have it rendered natively in markdown hosting sites like GitHub.by Myrmornis

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.

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

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!
by wps - 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.by aninteger
- 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.by dacort
