A comment on PlantUML in a nutshell.

Disappointingly, it looks like it doesn't support mathematical diagrams other than via embedded math-specific languages. I continue to want a markup language for hypergraphs, categories, finitely presented monoids, etc.

Isn’t TikZ the right answer for that kind of thing?

No. TikZ is only for drawing, but diagrams are proper objects with properties and data, and we should be able to manipulate them, not just display them.
