I always had the hope that Lout[0] would take over LaTeX: very clean & reasonably small implementation, functional programming instead of macros. I guess it's just hard to move against the inertia that (La)TeX carries.

- mhd 4y agoI've had a look at Lout years ago, but I think the development stalled a bit and the source wasn't that inviting for contributors. So the PDF support came (too) late and still isn't feature-complete with the PS output. I am still fond of the Scribe[1]-like syntax, but then again, I also liked it in Texinfo or Borland Sprint.
