Shaky: ASCII Diagram to PNG
That looks like it's using Dot notation:

I like to use

Uhm, if the only thing you base that assumption on is the use of -> to mark a line with an arrowhead ... sure. But it's pretty far from dot, actually.

They are similar in that they are both languges that can be used to specify diagrams.

dot describes graphs. Sequence diagrams aren't really graphs in my book.
