Hi everyone!
Tuesday, I successfully defended my PhD. Of course, this is big for me, but I want to share it here because I worked with Typst and it was an amazing experience.
For all the ones here that are still skeptical, I can tell you that writing a 200 pages manuscript (~8k lines of Typst) and a ~45 slides defense presentation with Typst was a great pleasure.
This tool is amazing, very powerful and can naturally scale to pretty big documents.
Also, I want to thank again all the members of this community who answered my numerous (stupid) questions with patience during these stressful times.
Many congratulations to the team behind Typst for having such a perfect vision to replace LaTeX. Thanks to all the contributors too.
I am happy to be maintaining the Typst package on the nixpkgs repo and will make sure it remains available there.
Have a nice day everyone, and thanks again for this amazing project.
