This looks like a pretty cool project. The syntax removes a lot of the complexity of tex, while still being fairly similar.
I see how this could be attractive especially to new students.
What I haven't seen (and hopefully I just missed it) is a way to run this locally. Would my documents be permanently tied to the typst online editor?
If that is the case than I don't think it has any real chance of adoption.
They cease to exist and my raw documents become instantly worthless.
Not to mention offline editing, etc.

- uneekname 4y agoI just discovered Typst on this thread and I'm pretty excited about it. It looks like they'll release the compiler source code when they open for public beta.[0] If this includes all of the pieces to run Typst locally, I'll be eager to try it out. > We will publish Typst's compiler source code as soon as our beta phase starts.
