I have an app that ultimately renders pdfs via typst. I'm starting to write tests for the output, exporting the documents to png instead and then applying something like https://github.com/kornelski/dssim or so.

(If anyone has experience with that, I'd take any hint I get ;))

Cool! What's your impression of typst? Is it ready to replace latex or is it still in its infancy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It's absolutely awesome. For my use case, it already surpasses latex, but I'm pretty sure that for other usecases there will be a point where latex offers more, at least due to ecosystem support. I for sure made the switch (wrote some personal docs in typst as well), and I'd suggest anybody at least looks into switching, it's so much better :)

From a dev perspective, it's also great that this is useable as a lib, instead of having to muck with an external binary (or rather full external latex installation).
