That's it, I am done with #TeX. I don't have time to completely rework everything every other week because something broke in some badly maintained module, and I can't stand fixing my letterhead every few days or deciding on a new table class every month. #LaTeX is dead, sadly.

Now just let's hope @typst will not enshittify too fast…

@nik Thanks for mentioning typst (https://github.com/typst/typst). I hadn't heard about that.

It looks like a great way to create pdfs and the examples look a lot easier than fighting with LaTeX syntax.

A quick search turned up #Python bindings and a way of importing data from JSON to use it as a template engine.

I guess I'll have to take a look.

With TexLive it's possible to switch to some older version.
