Exploring Goja: A Golang JavaScript Runtime
I work on the D2 project ([0]) and we switched from other Javascript runners (v8go) to Goja. Using a JS runtime with a dependency on cgo means your Go program loses the (huge) benefit of cross-compiling to different architectures, since at build time it gets linked to the architecture-specific libc.
If you're interested in some production code with Goja, this is our code for calling RoughJS [1] from Go in order to produce the hand-drawn diagram look: [2]

Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation
While not embedded in markdown, I like d2 [1]. I can use it with org-babel to embed and view the diagrams on emacs. After using graphviz for years, the visual output seems more polished to me. With that said, I want to give pikchr a try.

Mermaid: Diagramming and Charting Tool

Mermaid Gantt diagrams are great for displaying distributed traces in Markdown
The thing that's problematic is rendering Mermaid SVGs outside of a browser environment - i.e. what static site generators need in order to generate JS-free HTML docs from Markdown content.
If you're looking at a rendered Mermaid diagram on your screen, you probably already have the SVG in your browser's dom. You can just right click -> view source -> find element -> view as html -> save that to a file. I expect this is how the SVG export on the Mermaid live editor[0] works.
(the Mermaid live editor is great, it's where I tend to go if I want an SVG export)
