Is there a way to get a git diagram out of D2? It does have nicely streamlined syntax.

One thing that worries me is that the profusion of text-based graph description languages will result in a family of software that's unparseable due to its success. We have Graphviz, GNUplot, PlantUML, BlockDiag, Mermaid, Kroki, Vega, and too many others to count - but we don't have a Pandoc.

pandia has a nice ring to it, wikipedia:

In Greek mythology, the goddess Pandia or Pandeia was a daughter of Zeus and the goddess Selene, the Greek personification of the moon.
