Thoughts on C4 Modeling? (programming.dev)

I saw “C4 Models” on the front page of HN. Decided to investigate further and noticed it was a recently developed diagramming paradigm.

I watched this talk by the author 4 years ago and was impressed with the ease of use and understanding. As well as the ability to develop your own notation.

I am building another new project soon and will use this modeling system to design the high level overview.

Has anybody tried using this recently? Did other devs or stakeholders easily understand what you were trying to build given these diagrams?

I only know https://arc42.org/ which seems to be an alternative, but I haven't used either methods. Anything is good when it comes to documentation. I have written software for surgery devices and the process, code, scripts, and even the documentation MUST be followed, documented, tracked, signed, etc. It's really a breath of fresh air as you don't have to fight with other devs and managers to write the doc, because, well, the doc must be there and it's the law, or you'll get your ass kicked by the FDA or other government bodies if you don't it right.
