What I ask to a diagramming software:

- To be open source, or open specification/format.

- Easy eaditable (gui/tui/source), that is, primitives. I don't want to edit a text based diagram with a text editor (emacs artist mode).

- Free design features, so I have some control on the presentation.

- Render to text diagram as a first class feature, so it can be integrated in source code/control. From text rendering it can easily be converted to vectorial/raster.

- CLI to render.

- DSL, better with geometric (position, size) and styling features (color, bold face, ...).

I have found nothing that meets these criteria.

I'm actually using https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Asciio as the best approach.
