> D2 thus far has been a product of handcrafted code. That era is over. This next phase of D2 will be driven by AI. By this, I mean that all of my contributions will use AI.
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?

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.

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.

So is TALA[1] continuing to be developed and/or being open sourced?
In the post it says "I'll be making posts as TALA and D2 Studio are released." so I assume/hope so?

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

I'm confused - why is hackclub (a project dedicated to teens) financing this project maintained by an openai infra person?
derpyzza 36 minutes ago [-]
that's what i'm thinking, this doesn't seem to be a teenager to me based off of them saying that they've been programming for 10 years ( though i suppose they could have started when they were <= 8 years old ), but i can't really find any information on who exactly the founder is, or why hackclub would sponsor them.

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 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.
