Wow, thanks for the clarification. Totally missed this part. After having already evangelized this with my coworkers, I may need to take it back.
If they made the core open and allowed users to use this language independently of their online service, there's still a ton of value they could have added with premium services on top of this. For writing the docs, sharing with teams, comments / versioning, etc. Visual figma type features essentially. A team bought into the specification would very likely pay for this.
But it's hard to imagine it taking off being completely locked into their service. Ah well, a fine idea and looked pretty well executed.
EDIT: maybe that's on their roadmap "When the language is more stable, we intend to open source D2. This will happen sometime in 2022.". Ok, back on board

During this time, it's only housed on Terrastruct, which provides the most well-supported interface (IDE) for it. Once we have a stable v1, we'll release and continue development of it in open source and make local options available.
