Interesting. Reminds me of Typst (both implemented in Rust and replacing TeX to some degree) and Microtex.

- evilmonkey19 5mo agoI have been using Typst for creating notes and it is an awesome tool. I use it to create notes on welding for my students. It makes my life so much easier compared to badsoft and its not-word-ing (you understand me).
- ocimbote 5mo agoI've discovered typst in the last year and used to build a resume and cover letter template that feeds from a YAML file. After a bit of tinkering and understanding the idiosyncracies of Typst, the joy of having reliable, consistent, beautiful, data-driven resumes and cover letters is not measurable. It basically lifted any barrier to applications, while whatever I had before I had always considered a burden. On top of that, I can add hiring process data directly to the yaml file to run further analysis. Can LaTeX do this? Most probably, but the learning curve is the difference.
