I find it really nice. the syntax is clean. and unlike Tex, it is simple to install, is smaller and comes with more built in features.
Thoughts on Typst?

only the finest for academics
absurdly based
I've just started using it.
It works well but the fact that it tries to have a nice module system with "pure" functions means that some things that used to be easy with LaTeX (such as having an automatically included prelude file that sets some document parameters) are impossible.
Hopefully they'll implement getters for things like document.title / document.author so that we could just make a function that reads these and automagically generates a front page or something like that.
It's probably lacking a lot of features but for now it's good enough for me.
Interesting, looks less cumbersome than latex
It will deprecate LaTeX, groff, TeX, etc.
if this could replace latex, then thank fucking god. their syntax is cancer. this typst is much more sane
I had similar system in mind. Seems they ruined it having same problems with LATEX, too bloat, too much braceketes, too much verbosity, too much to remember
Just like they always do
not
Groff? The language used for making man pages? Typst doesn’t seem to have the rich vocabulary (yet) for making semantic man pages like mandoc does, but it’s early days yet.
I wish it could deprecate latex, but I'm looking and I'm totally not impressed.
could typst be used for rewriting your resume in it? does it support different fonts, different text areas, PDF exporting?
Yes, probably, at this point PDF export is all it does
Whoops. I meant:
Yes, yes, at this point PDF export is all it does
Whoms't?

NGL it looks pretty nice
I like it a lot even though I basically don’t do any print publication. 0.4.0 just got footnotes. SILE guy on suicide watch.
here's your best latex markdown second brain productiviy notetaking app bro
See, I tried this morning to make a macro in LaTeX that would take a function name, description and list of parameters with name, type and description and generate documentation. I couldn't get macro to work in LaTeX and I was also very limited since I could only use the preinstalled packages (the retarded package manager forces you to be up to date which I am not)
Meanwhile with typst which I found while searching for alternatives just works. I can even load a json and parse it before displaying
>LaTeX
werks
>Typst
doesn't werk
LaTeX has never Werked
not Just, anyway
Go shill your troonware something else, dumb troon shill
Yet another rewrite in rust
Orange crab bad
It's nice, hopefully the latex killer.
Math syntax is a breeze of fresh air and the functions over macros is the right choice these days. I hope they hurry up
>a breeze of fresh air
please sincerely go back to HN or kill yourself
I've never seen anyone use this for anything but math
