I haven't used latex in 20+ years, so it's not real fresh for me but this looks like a great alternative.
This is a great project. The way it handles mixing markup and code is on point. Also, for drawing its CeTZ is so much nicer than TiKZ, the LaTeX equivalent. I made some great graphics with it for a seminar presentation and paper that I couldn’t have done anywhere near as easily with LaTeX. (The presentation slides I made entirely with Typst, the paper had a LaTeX template that I didn’t feel like remaking because it was huge so I just embedded the graphics I made with Typst)
There are a few typst packages for making presentation slides. Which one did you use?
Polylux, with a custom theme. Tbh, I wasn't aware there were others until now!
I didn't know about this project, it looks promissing.
Looks great.
