A lot of the code you can write does look like JS, though. You can use the libraries that may be common to a JS dev. It's not perfect, but there's enough overlap and the differences are understandable and documented[1].

Also having learned a lot of D3 by reading through Observable tutorials, I'm curious what you've seen that doesn't seem to work when you port it to JS?

One thing I'm aware of is that you have to move a lot of the plotting code into the .then() method of promise when you're loading data.
