title: pic: does anyone use it for diagrams? is there a version that outputs svg? (vs. troff or TeX)
body: <p>I'm in the middle of reading <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=a2AZAQAAIAAJ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">More Programming Pearls</a> and read the chapter on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pic_language" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pic language</a> (see also <a href="http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.43.2982" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kernighan's paper</a>) with some interest.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone out there using it? It seems like it might be fairly easily translatable into SVG. There's a GNU version (w/ <a href="http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.136.8343" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs by Eric Raymond</a>!) but it only outputs groff and TeX.</p>
