The syntax reminds me a bit of PIC. Is that coincidence, or intentional?

  coincidental, i actually thought i'd researched all the available options before embarking. can you share a link to an example? I found the wikipedia but haven't found what the syntax looks like

    Okay, maybe it's not as close as I remember it! PIC is designed to be embedded inside of TROFF, so it's... not pretty, to say the least. It does have the -> arrow thing, and the label: value syntax, though. For as hideous as it is, it's surprisingly easy to use. https://yingtongdiddleipo.ee.wits.ac.za/help/gpic.pdf https://yingtongdiddleipo.ee.wits.ac.za/help/gpic.pdf

      Those probably descended through PlantUML

        the -> probably descended from cave paintings
