I expected the answer to be that pikchr came first, but plantuml was 2009 according to Wikipedia and pikchr appears to be 2020 https://pikchr.org/home/info/d06dd0ebe7dae623 https://pikchr.org/home/info/d06dd0ebe7dae623 I'm personally excited to discover pikchr because I periodically need to produce box&arrow style diagrams and everything else from the author has been solid and easy to hack on.

Pikchr is designed to be compatible with and extend PIC, which goes back to 1988. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_(markup_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_(markup_language) https://pikchr.org/home/doc/trunk/doc/differences.md https://pikchr.org/home/doc/trunk/doc/differences.md
