ChatCraft Adventures #10
Currently, ChatCraft supports Mermaid rendering. This feature request involves adding support for nomnoml rendering. Nomnoml is similar to Mermaid, in that they're both used in generating uml diagrams.

Show HN: Marimo – an open-source reactive notebook for Python
Marimo looks and feels great!
Have you considered adding support for mermaid.js in the markdown? I tried including some mermaid.js in a `mo.md` invocation, but it didn't render the diagram :-)

Penrose – Penrose
This feels like the LaTeX version of Mermaid.js [0]. I can do anything with it, but I gotta learn a lot of new syntax. So, really cool! Gonna have to dig into this.

How do I create UML diagram?
I mean, I know about PlantUML where you can write code that will generate cool diagrams and it's feels like one of solutions\implementations but not the right one. What actual way people in huge companies create UML diagrams for their projects? I can't find any software or language syntax, even guides on Youtube about UML is just hours of talking about all sorts of UML diagrams without ever mentioning any software or syntax or actual way to create them.
