Do I need to learn LaTeX? Are there better options?
try out curvenote.com it's not latest but has a lot of powerful features -- including latex support for equations
- Is there a CodePen/OverLeaf equivalent for sharing and viewing Jupyter Notebooks/Labs
-
Is there a way to share a Latex file to Word users
try using curvenote.com instead - write in something like a sciencey good docs interface, output to Tex, PDF or word whenever you want. Has full support for math, cross referencing, citations, bibtex etc.,, and output to latex templates for specific journals etc...
-
Interactive journal articles/Latex documents
probably curvenote.com ?

Im a new 1st year PhD candidate starting Monday… I would really appreciate any tips or things you wish you had known at the beginning of your PhD. I have worked with my supervisor before so have a pretty good relationship although I am not naive to the fact this will change over time.
citation manager, keep a regular schedule, stay fit and use tools that help you - paperpile.com curvenote.com

What are some "work smart, not hard" ways of writing a Thesis?
take a look at curvenote.com
- Finished my PhD… :)
-
Tools that allow college students to collaborate on math problems - non-LaTeX based
Try curvenote.com it's a visual editor like google docs but block-based (a little like notion) and has maths support via latex.
-
Should I have to edit my PhD students dissertation for basic grammar?
Grammarly doesn't work in overleaf does it? nor in MS Word locally? it does on other online tools like curvenote.com or google docs though, and maybe MS Office but I haven't tried. I'm totally comfortable using grammarly
-
do you know a program that will help me write math homework more quickly?
have a look at mathpix.com and curvenote.com both interesting, the first for going from handwriting to LaTeX and the second for a WYSIWYG editor for writing with latex maths support

I rewrote my CV in Typst and I'll never look back
You may want to try https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic, which downloads files from TeXLive on-demand.

bard 2.0
v2 has improved TeX engine lookup, improved PDF template look&feel, proper support for MS Windows (where it comes integrated with the Tectonic engine) and a few more new features.
-
[Media] Version 0.3 of Inlyne - An interactive markdown renderer written entirely in Rust
There's https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but I think the issue with that idea is that sure, you can re-implement TeX (it's sufficiently simple) in Rust and then run LaTeX packages on top of it, but then you're back to LaTeX and all its weirdness so you haven't really gained anything compared to LaTeX itself.
-
Arch for science
In terms of TeX, I would recommend taking a look at tectonic, a self-contained TeX distribution that auto-installs packages you need when you need them, and “just works” when you call the binary to compile… Because screw messing around with package managers, CTAN and XeTeX. I’ve been using it for around a year and it’s so much easier than any other TeX distribution.

Porting Python reportlab code to Rust
For example, you can have your main application in something like Deno/Node/python that acts as a server, and then delegate the actual pdf generation to tectonic (https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic) or Typst https://typst.app/blog/2023/beta-oss-launch/

How does it compare with Tectonic?

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
It's sad that Tectonic conversion to Rust[1] was never finished. For now it's just a wrapper around C and C++ code. By far, it was the most promising thing in this distribution.

LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?
The only thing I've seen is https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but that's an actual re-implementation of TeX Rust.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sidenotes and tectonic you can also consider the following projects:
floating-ui - A JavaScript library to position floating elements and create interactions for them.
miktex - the MiKTeX source code
tlk - Group video call for the web. No signups. No downloads. [Moved to: https://github.com/vasanthv/talk]
texlab - An implementation of the Language Server Protocol for LaTeX
tex-rs - A port of TeX82 to Rust. (WIP)
jupytext - Jupyter Notebooks as Markdown Documents, Julia, Python or R scripts
Oberon - Oberon parser, code model & browser, compiler and IDE with debugger
RusTeX - A (somewhat experimental) implementation of a TeX engine in rust, used to convert LaTeX documents to xhtml.
