@debacle @typst For what purpose? I'm a contributor to all three and maintainer of one and find they all have a place in my production work, but none is universally better at everything.

@alerque @typst

I like to read more about which tool is better for what. I only know #TeXLaTeX.

@kuchenmampfer mentioned faster compile times of #Typst, which might make it good for report generation, i.e. "mass production". It would have to have very good support for tables, incl. long tables, though.

@debacle @alerque @typst @kuchenmampfer a good example of mass production is probably #zerodha (https://zerodha.tech/blog/1-5-million-pdfs-in-25-minutes/). They used Typst in early 2024, and since then it has only improved so. I find Typst table support to be functional and fairly complete. It's definitely different from #LaTeX, but it does have its advantages.

Ironically, I wouldn't use Typst in an academic setting. There's just too much friction. Unless you've managed to convince your collaborators AND the publishing venue if necessary then it's unlikely to work. The exception being, if you work mostly alone.

How we generate, digitally sign, and e-mail out 1.5+ million PDFs, as mandated by regulations, in about 25 minutes with a fully self-hosted distributed architecture.

@quachpas @debacle @alerque @typst yeah, I mostly work alone. However, I have managed to convinced my colleagues to also use typst in a couple of courses where we had to work together.

To be honest I wish everyone would just adopt Typst maths syntax, I have nightmares about typing \ 😂. I spent ages typing them until I found out about macros ...
