But why be exclusive? Why not "Chart language for computer programs to generate"?
I don't want to use an agent at all, but i wouldn't mind generating some charts with an easy-to-generate markup language...

But for that we already have mermaid.js (and its precursor Graphviz/dot).
The only reason to use this instead of existing, mature ones designed for humans is if you are an AI agent.
Why can’t AIs generate for the “existing, mature ones?” Like the other commenter said, I’m not sure I get the “this is totally for AI” marketing. Why can’t AI use the existing ones and why can’t humans use this?
its not marketing to you, its marketing to agents looking for tools to use
Mermaid looks terrible.
It is only better than nothing for the purpose of showing it to people whether produced by an LLM, by a human, or by both.
Your employees may just accept the internal slop, but at some point, you have to show your charts to your customer.
Doesn't that depend on the style that you apply to it?
Careful, they'll spring something XML-derived on us.
Because these are completely different requirements.
Which are what, exactly?
