WTF is everyone going on about proprietary? The entire thing is under Apache 2.0 license. Where the hell do you even get the idea that Typst is proprietary?
Yeah well, too bad. Even open source needs money. If you don't want to support the team, then don't. But quit whining. Typst is completely Open Source.
Their business model is providing a cloud hosted platform for your projects. But if you don't want that then you can just run it offline on your local machine.
I swear, some people here remind me every day why a significant portion of the population hates us leftists!
I would say the general design philosophy. It works pretty much perfectly for what it's supposed to do. But the strong suit of LuaTex is that it can execute pretty much any code you want. So, you could in theory execute a fluid simulation each time you compile your document and insert the result as an image. The Typst Scripting language obviously can't do that because it's locked into the typst sandbox.
My particular use case is that I have some data accessible via an open API and I would love to skip the step where I update the data CSV every day or week. So, not really a breaking feature, but nice to have nonetheless.
I've completely switched over to Typst and it's so much better. All of the typesetting capabilities of LaTex but without 99% of the headache. Now all it needs is all of the neat little edge case extensions that LaTeX has gathered over the years. And possibly a real scripting language interface like LuaTex.
Just because there's a percent sign doesn't mean it's statistics, smartass. If I finish 4 tickets in the time I usually take to finish 3 tickets, then that's a roughly 30% efficiency increase. That's not statistics, it' s just plain old elementary school algebra!
But don't bother replying. I realize now that this post is occupied by human dregs that will be out of a job within the next 5 years because they refuse to interact with AI at all.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Another useless AI hater. You people are even worse than the AI fanboy techbros!
AI is a wonderful tool for those who know how to use it. It has increased my productivity by at least 30% and it can do all the mundane and boring coding while I focus on the interesting aspects!
"Good code" is not well defined and your example shows this perfectly. LMDBs codebase is absolutely horrendous when your quality criterias for good code are Readability and Maintainability. But it's a perfect masterpiece if your quality criteria are Performance and Efficiency.
Most modern Software should be written with the first two in mind, but for a DBMS, the latter are way more important.
No, it's a car that breaks down once you go faster than 60km/h. It's extremely useful if you know what you're doing and use it only for tasks that it's good at.
Naja, eigentlich ist es ganz einfach. Ich schau' mir das an und sagen den Leuten klipp und klar, das Zeug ist nicht fixbar. Entweder wir schreiben die Anwendung komplett neu, oder sie können sich nen anderen Dienstleister suchen. Wer billig bezahlt, bekommt eben billig!
Yeah, there's a lot of ways to do this. As I said, it's more of a nice to have feature rather than anything else.
