https://d2lang.com/ is a nicer language than Mermaid with much nicer visual appearance. It would be great if it became more widely supported.

I reached the same conclusion after comparing diagram-as-code tools — D2 feels cleaner and more expressive than Mermaid.
I’ve been working on an AI diagramming tool built around D2: https://aidiagrammaker.com/
You describe a system in plain English, and it generates architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and sequence diagrams in D2.
Edits can be made either directly in the D2 code or via a context-aware editor.

Does it produce real svgs as opposed to foreign object html in svg mess that mermaid compilers produce?
The language is richer and all diagram types are implemented consistently in the same language in a way that can be composed, as opposed to being a collection of unrelated DSLs.
The improved visual appearance is clear from inspecting example diagrams, I believe.

How does the agent session thing work? Server-side you proxy requests to client via websockets or something? How does the agent see the client-side data?

The first thing I tried to do is resize that rectangle in the default diagram... and the resize handles do not affect the height, only the width. What is this "better" than?

I will grant this: that's a brilliant name and domain.

I can't seem to change the colors of the pie chart, other than the predefined themes. But all of those are horrible for a pie chart.

Yeah, as far as I know, you need to define a customized theme to customize pie chart colors. You can prepend the chart with initialization logic like:
- Write Mermaid diagrams with a live preview.
- Arrange multiple diagrams on an infinite canvas.
- Group diagrams into multi-page projects.
- Better themes

This looks like it works on this site too.
