Typst 0.13 released

typst.app Typst 0.13 is out now – Typst Blog

With Typst 0.13, we wanted to improve the day-to-day experience of using Typst. We fixed some of the most long-standing bugs and made Typst even more flexible to...

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!

It is an add in disguise for commercial project.
- 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?
- 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”
- Kudos to them if they can provide fundings for open source typst.
- 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.
