Typst

We are two recent Computer Science grads. During our degrees, we became acquainted with LaTeX, the standard software for writing STEM papers and other maths-heavy documents. That software is powerful, but almost 40 years old, difficult to learn, slow, and riddled with obtuse error messages. So we decided to build something better, just as a side project 😉. Four years, more than 2,000 commits, and a closed preview test later, we're delighted to invite you to try Typst, a new typesetting system with intuitive markup and powerful scripting features. The core of Typst is free and open source, so also feel free to check it out on GitHub. The best way to write Typst is our web app. We hope that its fast previews, helpful autocompletions, and customizable templates will delight you. Take it for a spin with your next assignment, paper, or report!

I'm absolutely amazed by the quality of Typst.I'm a math / CS teacher and I've been using LaTeX for decades, litterally. My own LaTeX settings file is full of "esoteric references" to ancient package, looks like alchemy and takes ages compiling. I find Typst delightfully compact, blazing fast and very refreshing. Not to mention the awesome possibilities offered with scripting ! Keep on the good work, I'll keep talking about Typst all around me !
