Ugh, unfortunately it means "please note that I'm not an unserious person." Very often when you have opinions on software on the internet, trolls will jump out of the hedgerow and shout, "who are you to have an opinion?" And, sadly, that same sort of person will often be mollified somewhat by prestige.

Feels kind of icky to have written that, though, and maybe I regret it slightly.

I think it's good, because it will enable other people to be less scared to ditch Typst

Honestly, I consider it embarrassing that it took so long for LaTeX to be dethroned. Academia is supposed to be about thinking for the long term. Instead everyone is too busy publishing and not perishing to rid themselves of LaTeX (and predatory journals outside CS, etc. etc.).

Given that, it takes credentialed "winners" to change the system. Everyone else is too often too afraid to play the game in the lowest risk manner. Sad.

Thanks for your posts on on Typst.

It also belies an ignorance that some schools have specializations. Utah wouldn't come to mind as a "top-20" school by the snobs, but they basically created computer graphics.
