Both the introduction link [1] and examples link [2] on the D3 homepage [3] and Github [4] only shows sketches on Observable - is there any official D3 getting started documentation not on Observable?
Similar frustations are aired in a forum post: "I want to learn D3. I don`t want to learn Observable. Is that ok?" [5].

- addicted 6y agoThe vast majority of library documentation of even major libraries is simply text with no playground. The fact that they’ve made the effort to add a playground by leveraging a fairly easy to use tech should not be held against the open source maintainers! Besides, all those examples are trivially reproducible locally, the way you would have to do it for the vast majority of languages which don’t give such fancy interactivity in their tutorials.
