It has built-in markup for the most common formatting tasks, flexible functions for everything else, and a tightly integrated scripting system. It was made by two graduates from Berlin with a "passion for software" and a deep loathing of LaTeX. That means you all you science/maths wonks get math typesetting, bibliography management, and the other usual suspects needed in more formal/academic settings. The GH repo provides the CLI/compiler which is all you really need to get started (though there is a handy VS Code LSP for it, too). They're built in Rust (ofc), and do all the modern processing idioms such as incremental compilation. The "app" is a freemium setup that provides a very friendly IDE (which you kinda get with the VS Code LSP, too) that has out-of-the gate support for collaborative projects. Typst has been designed with three key goals in mind: Power, simplicity, and performance. To achieve these goals, Typst follows three core design principles: Simplicity through Consistency, Power through Composability, and Performance through Incrementality. Thing just "make sense" in their ecosystem, and they have power features like templates, scripting, and more precise control (than traditional markdown) over formatting. The next time you sit down to pen your next essay, article, scientific paper, books, report,homework assignment, proclamations of how awesome the Daily Drop is, or other, lesser, documents perhaps give Typst a try? ] #let column(title, linebreaks, hyphenate) = { rect(inset: 20pt, width: 600pt, fill: rgb("eee"))[ #set par(linebreaks: linebreaks) #set text(hyphenate: hyphenate) #strong(title) \ #story ] } #grid( columns: 1, gutter: 10pt, column([The Daily Drop — Knuth Style], "optimized", false) )
