Cool. I've moved on to typst and hope to never touch latex again in my lifetime...

I've also started using typst for some projects. I am slowly getting used to the syntax. But it's a process for me. I also still have latex projects/docs

So happy to see new texlive as well

Stared typst ages ago. Thanks for the reminder to try it out. Now the cost of switching is so low too

After delivering my thesis in LaTeX, I never bothered with it again, even at CERN back in 2003 most folks were using a mixture of Word and FrameMaker, with templates to have a TeX like paper output.

Typst lacks PGF/TikZ alternative.

I've recently made a dozen vastly different projects with Typst, ALL of which would have created dependency hell, syntax noise, and hours of extra pointless work in Latex. It's such a clear win at this point it's embarrassing.
