- alterom 4mo agoTL;DW: there is interest in supporting Typst, but there are roadblocks: * Higher priority work currently being done on ArXiV (moving from Perl to Python/cloud) * No "standard" Typst distro * Support team needs to be re-trained for a new language * Persistency: TeX has 30+ years of history; will Typst be around in 30 years? Will current code compile? Will existing documents be supported?
