#2I watched the video presentation going over the new features, and the poor developer looks like he really needs a rest.

Re: Typst 0.13 is out now
#4I need to play with Typst. I've been using Markdown and converting that to LaTeX with Pandoc for quite awhile, and that more or less works, but I've had issues when I need any non-standard formatting, like specific placement of something like a title page.
Typst looks like it might be the solution to this problem.

#5Small report from personal experience: I wrote the documentation for a project (~ half a bachelors thesis) with Typst. The writing experience was easy and nice, much better compared to the few Latex documents I worked on. Two main struggles I remember:
- We split the "paper" into multiple Typst files. While this organized our content nice, the VSC extension didn't recognize the bibliography imported in another file and displayed errors. Nothing major but certainly annoying.
- It couldn't deal well with SVGs and diagrams in general, so we resorted to just export graphics and include them as images.
6/10 would use again and I'm excited for the new release.

#6Is this a LaTeX killer yet?
From a technical perspective, yes. From a social perspective, maybe. It needs a lot more community support and adoption, but it's on an excellent trajectory.

#7I am very excited about HTML export! HTML is much better at responsiveness and accessibility.
Typst is such a great software. With it's modern programming language like syntax I learned it much faster than Latex. It's compile duration is also much better in my experience. I am honestly more productive using Typst it this point. Though I am not a power user. I only used it for slides and notation heavy articles.

FYI the workaround to solve this is to go to the "root" file and run the "pin current file as main" or something like that of your Typst LSP. Unfortunately this needs to be done every time you reopen your project.

#9Is this a LaTeX killer yet?
As long as I don't have to submit a paper, I always use Typst nowadays for PDF generation. So for me that answer is a yes. (I also wrote my PhD thesis in typst and the thesis was accepted.)
