We’re looking for a programming language expert to build a modern diagramming DSL.
Terrastruct is a diagramming tool for software architecture. Current diagramming tools are closer to design tools than dev tools. We’re going to enable software teams around the world to define diagrams with a custom DSL. One that can represent classes, SQL tables, containers, markdown, code blocks, and has autoformatting, and much more. It’s backed by in-house autolayout algorithms, so we control the full stack of the diagram creation. Oh and it’ll be open sourced once ready. We think it’s on its way to be (and already is in many aspects) an order of magnitude better than alternatives like Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz/DOT.
And you can play with it on our app (sorry, needs an account. We do plan to put an interactive version without needing to sign up, but things are still in beta right now).
We’re looking for someone ASAP. Requirements are that you’ve worked on programming languages professionally before or have excelled in another area of software (you can point to some widely-used software and say “I played a significant role in building that”). If interested, email me at alex@terrastruct.com, worst that happens is you’ll see a demo and discuss some cool ideas.

We have the initial bits up and running. You can check out the (beta) docs here: https://terrastruct.com/docs/d2/tour/intro/
