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.

Documentation as Code for Cloud - C4 Model & Structurizr
In the next post I'll deep-dive into the D2 language which also has a huge set of features. Stay tuned.

Nomnoml
That site is created by the maintainers of D2[1], so it might be biased, but I still think D2 has the friendliest syntax of the bunch, including nomnoml.

Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
I've been using https://structurizr.com/ to automatically generate C4 diagrams from a model (rather than drawing them by hand). It works well with the approach for written documentation as proposed in https://arc42.org/. It's very easy to embed a C4 diagram into a markdown document.
The result is a set of documents and diagrams under version control that can be rendered using the structurizr documentation server (for interactive diagrams and indexed search).
I also use https://d2lang.com/ for declarative diagrams in addition to C4, e.g., sequence diagrams and https://adr.github.io/ for architectural decision records. These are also well integrated into structurizr.

Nomnoml
One of those "text to diagram" contenders did a comparison website (open source) a while back: https://text-to-diagram.com/ (nomnoml isn't in there).

Mermaid Cheat Sheet
I think Mermaid is better than PlantUML to write something quickly.
But D2 looks very promising. I like the simpler and more intuitive syntax.

The truth is, being a sysadmin can be a thankless job. What is something that you have done that your are proud of? AKA Toot your own horn Tuesday.
have you seen https://text-to-diagram.com/ for comparing these flowcharts including mermaidJS and graphwiz as you mentioned and there are a few more there.

Generate diagrams programmatically with D2
Yes, it's a limited generator, because it's like 20 lines long and not the point of the article.
If you want to compare Mermaid against D2, take a look at https://text-to-diagram.com. The maintainers of Mermaid have contributed to it.
