LaTeX is shit at this point. Check out https://github.com/typst/typst. I cannot go back to the awful syntax in a powerful LuaLaTeX.

Hm, looks somewhat less painful to type. Otherwise, needs further investigation; tnx!

It's in the beta, but actively being developed. You can do a lot of stuff already, but a lot of stuff is either not implemented or janky. Overall I can cope with that. If you want to add something, just know how to write in Rust.

Do you pronounce it "typist", "typeset" or "type es ti"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why not just pronounce it "typst"? (like "types" with a "t" at the end)

Yay English got its second person singular conjugation back :)

I type Thou typst She typeth

Typ as in type and st as in street. One syllable with many consonants.

It's still new and I didn't ask authors this question and doc doesn't talk about it either.
