LaTeX has the most godawful syntax mankind has ever created, I'm surprised it took this long for a serious alternative to pop up. I rarely ever used Latex but I'm so happy this exists because it means I hopefully will never have to again.

It's far from a full alternative to LaTeX, but it's a nice to have a "lite" version of it.

I did not yet have the time to look deeper into this but I do not yet know why it is easier than latex. The syntax feels strange. It is very hard for me to take this serious. It has 24k stars, hence I should take it serious.
