What are you working on this week? (Mar. 10, 2024)
Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?
You're viewing a single thread.
I have an app that ultimately renders pdfs via typst. I'm starting to write tests for the output, exporting the documents to png instead and then applying something like https://github.com/kornelski/dssim or so.
(If anyone has experience with that, I'd take any hint I get ;))
Cool! What's your impression of typst? Is it ready to replace latex or is it still in its infancy?
It's absolutely awesome. For my use case, it already surpasses latex, but I'm pretty sure that for other usecases there will be a point where latex offers more, at least due to ecosystem support. I for sure made the switch (wrote some personal docs in typst as well), and I'd suggest anybody at least looks into switching, it's so much better :)
From a dev perspective, it's also great that this is useable as a lib, instead of having to muck with an external binary (or rather full external latex installation).
