Anyone have recommendations for a simple text-based flowchart specification format? Something that a human can read and easily understand in plaintext, but can also be rendered as a graphic?

The current solutions we have at my work are extremely difficult to use with VCS.

I've looked at Mermaid [0], but it is pretty limiting in its feature set.

I typically use draw.io/mxGraph [1] when I'm making diagrams and flowcharts, but the XML-based file format is pretty overwhelming for humans to read.
