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!
Typst is just awesome, highly recommended.
It is an add in disguise for commercial project.
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.
We live in a capitalist society. Most of Typst is open source including the CLI, library, and IDE support; and the source is Rust so why not share in a Rust community?
Kudos to them if they can provide fundings for open source typst.
What is? What do you mean?
I think what Kualk@lemm.ee is getting at is that Typst also a paid web app developed by a for-profit company. This same company is who manages the github repo for the Typst language compiler. They seem to take issue that this post is promoting a partially open-source project for a for-profit company.
But typst itself is fully open-source. Saying it’s a „partially open-source project” is a mischaracterization. You don’t need to use the web IDE and it’s not strictly part of the „typst project”
