I made a short Rust course that builds a perceptron from scratch and trains it on basic logic gates, using a LEGO-style step-by-step approach. It’s free, but requires registration.

I relaunched Knowledge.Dev, and now I also generate free PDF books in Typst. I can say that even today, Typst's capabilities can fully replace LaTeX, while being incredibly convenient to use. All in all, I'm excited to share the results of my work over the past year.


I have been watching for Typst for more than a year but there are still things Typst can not do as easily as LaTeX, see https://qwinsi.github.io/tex2typst-webapp/impl-in-typst.html for examples. So, I do not agree with the statement that Typst can fully replace LaTeX, at least, for now.

Other than the product itself, there are ecosystem issues as well. LaTeX has mature support in editors such as Emacs. However, support for Typst in Emacs is still in development. Thus, for now, I will keep using LaTeX, but I would keep Typst as an option.


That page has a reasonable re-creation, with trivial usage at call-sites, of each missing feature though? The only one that looks a bit revolting is the large pipe example


I'll be interested to take a look once the site is back up!


Thank you for the feedback! It's very important to me. I'll try to improve the readme and publish a documentation.


Since your submission here pretty much fell through the cracks, feel free to resubmit once you have improved these things.


Thanks!
