New toy. Seems cool.

Come join my students in watching me be dumb on camera, whether it's missing MathCounts questions, misreading shortlist geometry problems, forgetting a Spawning Pool, running Baba into corners, and more!

I have so many LaTeX macros and muscle memory that I don't think I'll switch anytime soon, but this seems objectively better and easier to learn.

[@joshuarose3186]

Same. I learned LaTeX - as I understand typst, LaTex is still a more versatile typesetting system, but typst is an absolute game changer for those that want to typeset papers and don't want to use LaTeX.

[@rauldurand]

I made a script in Julia to translate to some level my tex files to typst. Working with typst is so much faster and enjoyable, and you require almost no packages.

Life saver 🙏 I will definitely forget this debt!

[@MathFromAlphaToOmega]

Cool! If I'd had this earlier, I could have shaved off years of learning how to format LaTeX.

[@rauldurand]

LaTeX is archaic although still usable. Typst is modern an enjoyable.

3:14 You can use ge in Vim to go to the end of the previous word, but if you wanted to be even faster you could do [s to go to the previous spelling mistake

I've been looking into this and I really like it. The one thing is that I haven't found a way to draw circuits like I can with circuitz

[@americanmathematics5478]

My question

[@darkeliphant1843]

I recently discovered Typst. It turned out to be very convenient. But I haven't figured out yet, is it possible to track the changes made in an already compiled pdf file relative to the previous version?

[@allandong7631]

Excellent demo. Thanks a lot.

[@rishadjain7712]

This is quite amazing. Wow

[@pearseseun]

I use C# and Python daily, but I still hate Latex-it's an arrogant machine. Sorry to say that.
