Ya, pandoc is nice, but from my experience it always requires some
filters to work well. And Haskell is about the furthest thing from a
scripting language, it is not as nice to iterate / experiment as elisp.

With tree-sitter, it would be nice if people could agree on the specs of
an intermediate representation for markup languages, so that we can get
a pandoc in emacs, and with the customisability in emacs would be one
step closer to meet OP's requirement.
