Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use
Typst is awesome, in particular if you want to generate documents programmatically.
This is a great project. The way it handles mixing markup and code is on point. Also, for drawing its CeTZ is so much nicer than TiKZ, the LaTeX equivalent. I made some great graphics with it for a seminar presentation and paper that I couldn’t have done anywhere near as easily with LaTeX. (The presentation slides I made entirely with Typst, the paper had a LaTeX template that I didn’t feel like remaking because it was huge so I just embedded the graphics I made with Typst)
There are a few typst packages for making presentation slides. Which one did you use?
Polylux, with a custom theme. Tbh, I wasn’t aware there were others until now!
Using typst since some months - way saner than latex
Looks great.
I haven’t used latex in 20+ years, so it’s not real fresh for me but this looks like a great alternative.
I didn’t know about this project, it looks promissing.
