how does this compare to mermaid or plantuml?

This feels like a more modern and feature rich version of PlantUML. Very interesting

For VS Code users, there's also the terrastruct.d2 extension that provides language support for .d2 files. It even let's you use the preview feature to watch live changes!

If anyone is interested, it would be great to have a write up on d2 and the extension over at !vscode@programming.dev

This looks crazy cool… one of those projects that I really wish I had a use for so I could try it lol

I would love to use it to create AWS architecture diagrams.

Doesn't look too bad, I doubt it will dislodge graphviz/dot any time soon, though :)

Looks great. I've been using asciiflow and sequence diagram for my diagrams. I'll give this a try

That's text in the sense that html is text.

I would love to have this in Azure DevOps for wikis. The Mermaid support is too limiting.
