I totally agree. I have written in LaTeX extensively and Typst is a game changer and a life saver. The community is also a plus. I love it and I will never go back to TeX.
Great news!! Shiny for Python 1.0 is now available! As an enthusiast, I've been eagerly anticipating this release. Congratulations to the Posit team, who, with Quarto, Shiny, and so many other open-source projects, are bringing superpowers to a whole new kind of user. Shiny's ease of use is a bliss for a lot of new coders, including those who don't see themselves as traditional programmers.
The latest version has Typst support and allow producing pdf files much faster than any LateX distribution. Even with a complex template it compiles almost instantly and you can see the final pdf changing while you are typing.
Is the default template not small and fast enough for you?
It generates html in a folder and afaik it the file is self-contained, i.e. it includes in the html all 200-ish lines of js it uses, no external dependencies.
Interesting. I hated it. I usually like Lex Friedman’s interviews even (or even more when) I disagree with the interviewee. I agreed a bunch with Holtz but I could not build empathy.
I tried, but for me he is too childish despite his undeniable intelligence. I am sorry for him.
