Typst is “A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn”. It’s written in Rust, and particularly attractive because, while providing a CLI interface, it is a proper library that you can easily incorporate into your progress to produce documents. Protip: If you do so, have a look at sys.inputs, it’s awesome!

    While you missed the mark here since typst has all the important stuff open (I wouldn’t use the web interface even if it was free/open source), I appreciate that you’re keeping an eye open.

    If you were in r*ddit’s rust community a few years ago, you probably would have been banned, just like me😄

    A blog post from M$ mentioning Rust with zero code

    => straight to the top

    A news article regurgitating the same thing a week later

    => straight to the top

    Another news article two weeks later regurgitating the same thing, possibly with the addition of a random tweet from some M$ dev

    => straight to the top

    Anyone not sucking nu-M$'s ****

    => banished to the bottom, or worse.

    Things got so silly to the point where I made this jerk post (archive link) about one of these silly posts.
