I find @mbstock's answer slightly disheartening: https://talk.observablehq.com/t/i-want-to-learn-d3-i-don-t-want-to-learn-observable-is-that-ok/1957/16 https://talk.observablehq.com/t/i-want-to-learn-d3-i-don-t-w... Instead of "we should make this more approachable without buying into Observable" it's "we should spend effort on helping you learn Observable and explaining why you need it". @sanjalot's final comment is somewhat better https://talk.observablehq.com/t/i-want-to-learn-d3-i-don-t-want-to-learn-observable-is-that-ok/1957/63 https://talk.observablehq.com/t/i-want-to-learn-d3-i-don-t-w... But instead of links in a forum somewhere to someone else's Observable explaining how to turn Observable's into plain JS code, this info should be front and center on the first page of official docs.
