At least from what I can tell, this isn't so much as a language as it is a drag-and-drop tool. I like how it looks but can't seem to find the language spec (as it claims it's a language) or any such examples through some cursory digging of the site.
Does it mean more of a communicative "language" of shapes? I was hoping more for a Graphviz .dot format that would be used to generate such graphs. Mermaid seems to have become the defacto standard in OSS and I really dislike it (even though I've also contributed to it). A modern, sleek alternative like this would be great.

It is a kind of strict flowchart language that only allows you to do it in one way, which may be bad for some, but it helps how fast you can grok it when you understand the simple rules. The same author have also recently made a JS widget that allows you to embed these diagrams on websites [2].
