  More than drawing, versioning. In that all those tools excel over drawings that you may or not notice in what they are different. And then collaboration, history of changes, converting between formats if possible, and generating different kinds of outputs. That is what you get turning drawings into some easy enough to understand language.

  Have you ever tried MetaPost? I really like it because (besides being nicely tied to ConTeXt) it's almost like writing in prose.

    Or MetaPict [1]? It's inspired by MetaPost but uses a modern programming language (Racket). [1] https://docs.racket-lang.org/metapict/index.html https://docs.racket-lang.org/metapict/index.html
