Time for someone to copy the good parts and implement them as FOSS. Good luck getting enterprises to pay for diagrams.

At the end of the video the presenter mentions that they plan to open source the language when it reaches a greater stage of maturity.

A code dump does not make it an open source project. Sustainable OSS projects are developed publicly.

That's probably why they're doing a code dump

The language spec, or the rendering backend code? And even if the "complete package", if the "locally runable version" is an afterthought of the OnlineWebVersion, have previous situations like that not regularly resulted in *Paks wrapping an electron instance with some blobs under the hood?

Lucidchart has entered the chat.

I assume it's use of node-gyp, the native plugin system.

Check this out: the "Head of Brand Marketing" for Opendoor, Kyle Tibbitts[0], left a few years ago to be the Head of Marketing at Fast.co[1], another scam that imploded. Right before Fast collapsed, he left to join a new real estate startup, wander.com[2], which is now launching a real estate investment vehicle, "Wander Atlas"[3], to stay afloat. The marketing page says they are "Democratizing access to the private market behind Wander".

The guy is 2/3 on scams... with a good chance of landing 3/3 in due time.

I'm equally curious about the board and the C-level staff.
