PlantUML is a DSL that isn't json/yaml. That doesn't make it better, and you can make the argument that it is worse because the tooling around it won't be as good.

i disagree on the semantics of "DSL" vs "config in json". these are different.
and anyways both of them just pretend to be "reliable" by throwing the responsibility to an upper layer of validator/compiler/interpreter

plantuml is good because of the the tooling around it. not sure if we are agreeing/disagreeing there, confused by the wording
