Quite the hyperbole, but I do agree that python isn't so wrong of a choice, but the problem is diagrams eventually interact with non-technical people and that's where it gets tricky.

I LOVE mermaid, d2, but at somepoint I hand the diagrams off to someone who knows nothing about markdown and honestly they shouldn't have to know it to interact with a diagram.

All these "diagrams as code" are great for an isolated group. I can pump them out WAY faster than manual drawing programs (draw.io, etc), but then run into the iterop wall w/ other teams.

I'd LOVE a place that could be like AWS's graphical editor that sort of goes in between the two. It's a hard problem I 100% agree and would require yet another DSL, ugh.
