@FlorianOswald @overleaf There is a high entry cost to get into document editing with latex but: 1/typst is much easier to understand as a tool and as a programming language 2/it proves that the *next* document language (if any) will also have low entry cost so there is no long term opportunity cost

[Winant Pablo @WinantPablo]

@FlorianOswald @overleaf Yes, absolutely. When you see how easy it is to rewrite in typst (with instant feedback) some features of a random obscure latex package, I would say it is easy to imagine letting latex go for good.

@jlperla @msiniscalchi @vectornomist @mfariacastro @typstapp No idea, really. After some tries, I like typst, both the document writing experience (instant visualization!), and as a lean programming language specialized to control/extend the formatting. True, HTML/CSS could contend for the latter, but it isn't there yet (for papers)

@jlperla @msiniscalchi @vectornomist @mfariacastro @typstapp Well, quarto is there to translate markdown into many other intermediary languages, like html, Tex quarto. And the pipe md->typst->pdf is much faster than md->latex->pdf even if not devoid of problems.

[Winant Pablo @WinantPablo]

@jlperla @msiniscalchi @vectornomist @mfariacastro @typstapp You can try the typst output of quarto. Much quicker updates and still markdown.

😲 Créé en 2006, Twitter a été le lieu de débats enflammés. Mais depuis quelques mois, la plateforme semble s’essouffler, annonçant peut-être la fin d’une ère. The New York Times rend hommage aux tweets les plus marquants de ces quinze dernières ... https://t.co/LgfjPkGqXJ ...

Kudos to @Lenovo for offering thinkpads without an operating system!
I will stop paying OEM licenses for software I don't use.

[Winant Pablo @WinantPablo]

@ChalleEdouard Yes, but 5s before death is when you get absolute clarity.
