So is TALA[1] continuing to be developed and/or being open sourced? [1] https://github.com/terrastruct/TALA

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.

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

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

> 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!

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.

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.
