Ubuntu Summit 2023 Day 1 (03 November 2023)
LaTeX: It's Not You, It's Me by Martin Haug
Both the Open Source and the STEM communities have been in a steadfast relationship with LaTeX over the last 39 years. However, as relationships grow and change, sometimes we need to consider something new… In this talk, we will review the history and design of LaTeX and what choices worked great in the 80s that weigh on users now. The talk will contrast this to Typst, our new technical typesetting system, and other contemporary alternatives and prompt the question: Is it finally time to move on?

Thank you to Canonical and the Ubuntu Summit team for inviting us! We had a great time in Riga!

Great talk, great software. I'll hopefully never have to touch LaTeX again.

@gavinvales8928

Such a great speaker, and you know so much about this LaTeX and other like software. It shows in Typst! 😊

@le0nz

Great talk. Really make you excited for the project! :)

@elliotalderson6609

Bro, first paragraph indent is the killer for this software. Like really strange you don't support it

@VenSensei

Been looking for a LaTeX alternative for a long while now.

@BlueTJLP

Awesome talk! Been a supporter since day 1!

@ederEngine

But why reinvent the wheel, couldn't you do this with html and css, and use already established libraries that make work easier like tailwindcss, and use custom tags for certain things?

pronunciation is wrong. not lay-tech.

I just used the web app to write the solution to a geometric problem in a neat way instead of just writing it on paper and was blown away by it's ease of use. For me BiDi text is a necessity and the only problem I have with markdown that had forced me to write in Latex was the fact that none of Markdown implementations have proper rtl support (you can force rtl for the whole document in something like obsidian).
