I'm not sure if you've ever tried to maintain diagarms in plantuml or dot, but it becomes difficult over time to keep them up to date.
I haven't used Python or Go diagrams but I have been a big user of plantuml for over a decade now. Off the top of my head, here are the main logistical problems with it:
* It sits on its own
* Hard to "share" metadata
* Difficult to manipulate once put into the DSL
* PlantUML has 12 different languages in one tool
I took a look at Python diagrams and a light bulb went off. Something that would make it so much easier for _everyone_ to contribute. Most people don't want to use PlantUML. But a DSL in Python? Could pay dividends.
I will seriously consider Python diagrams for my next project.
