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/

UnTeX - Parsing and formatting TeX documents with Rust - Looking for help
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.

Is there any way to use Helix for juypter notebooks !
Helix defaults to texlab so try that?
-
emacs-29 and eglot inlay hints?
This is overly verbose and redundant, therefore I disabled eglot-inlay-hints mode in LaTeX and opened and issue: https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab/issues/858
-
UnTeX - Parsing and formatting TeX documents with Rust - Looking for help
I have a very limited understanding of Parsing but I would assume that Latex Language Servers have to implement similar parsing too? So maybe check out TexLab. It’s implemented in Rust so maybe it’s an interesting reference.

Is there any way to get a wordcount from an LSP?
Is it possible to get a wordcount for LaTeX documents from an LSP like ltex-ls or texlab?

Overleaf makes me mad and TeXstudio is superior
If you use emacs, I recommend to get some modern goodness by installing lsp-mode (or eglot) to interact with language servers and then install a latex language servers like texlab. This in my expericence really improved the autocompletion so I don't feel like I loose anything over using vscode, texlab or overleaf .Recently I also switched to lsp-ltex for language-tool integration. All those tools lsp servers can also be used from other editors with lsp support, so use what you prefer. I would only recommend emacs to those who want a fully customized and keyboard driven experience and are not afraid to eventually modify some lisp code. But it has its unique advantages, many editing tools and in addition to the still great auctex also cdlatex for super quick math typesetting.

Is there a way to continuously update the PDF file while using on Emacs?
you can use https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab

Ask HN: What LaTeX editor do you use?
I use overleaf these days mostly because overleaf makes it effortless to work across multiple machines. I still have my neovim + texlab [1] setup just in case though.

pantran.nvim: asynchronous, interactive machine translation directly from your editor
Story time: I really love Neovim for programming, but one thing I love it even more for is scientific writing. Tools like texlab make this especially fun! But for a well-rounded experience, I need a few more things: (i) Grammar checking. For that I can recommend ltex, an LSP-server which adds LaTeX support to language tool. (ii) Thesaurus lookup. (Neo)vims integrated thesaurus format is a little bit limited. But thankfully 'thesaurusfunc' exists so I could easily write a small plugin to add support for openoffice.org mythes thesauri. (iii) Machine translation. Now we're finally getting to the topic of this post. I write most of my stuff in English but I'm not a native speaker, so machine translation is valuable for me. It can help me to overcome writers block to an extent, for example. There already exist a few plugins for that problem, like vim-translator or translate.nvim. But none of these support interactive modes, a slick UI, and, as far as I know, useful things like motions and counts. This is where my plugin pantran.nvim comes into place! The demo should speak for itself. In the end it was a lot more effort than I anticipated but I'm very pleased with the result. I hope this can be useful to others as well!
