[racket-users] Re: Seeking a graphviz like, diagramming language for Racket
For whatever it's worth, the racket package 'graph' can output to graphviz. I'd be excited to see graphviz superseded by a superior diagram DSL though.

For those of you whom I still have the attention of, I recently found this: http://blockdiag.com/en/blockdiag/index.html This is almost exactly what I was looking for (except that it's written in Python), but the idea is the same.

Mermaid (https://github.com/knsv/mermaid) is a useful alternative to GraphViz for the cases in which it specializes. If you're working on your own diagramming DSL, you may want to look at these for inspiration: * Diagrams for Haskell (https://archives.haskell.org/projects.haskell.org/diagrams/); * CL-DOT for Common Lisp (http://foldr.org/%7Emichaelw/projects/cl-dot/). CL-DOT generates DOT files. Its graph examples are impressively concise. It's under 500 SLOC, but seems to heavily use CLOS, so a Racket translation wouldn't be quite straightforward. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
