What are you learning right now? I haven't had much time for self-study recently, but I'd love to know what y'all are exploring. Doesn't have to be tech, just whatever is sparking your curiosity!

@valthonis Yay!
Not to derail you, but I have become a complete Typst convert. It's the same concept, with some modern affordances.
@mttaggart Hm. Looks like it's self-hostable without *too* much headache, too.
I will dig at this. Thanks, Taggart!
@mttaggart Ah, the tooling is open-source and installable, but the online interface isn't. That's eminently fair, honestly, and a fair-sight better than what a lot of MSPs will offer. 🤔
@valthonis Tbh I have never used the online one. Even my terminal text editor Helix has Typst syntax support, so that's how I use it. I even built my resume with it!
@mttaggart Says something that this one example in a git repo is *instantly* more compelling a demo to me than anything on Typst's (admittedly nicely done) site. 😅
@mttaggart Japanese, and Guitar. I like to find hobbies that are not at the computer.
@eightbitraptor I really need to put more time into Mandarin and piano. Language and music are such lovely pursuits.
@mttaggart Atmospheric science! 💨
@mttaggart Been trying to make an earnest go at learning LyX/LaTeX recently.
The more I write longer works, the more I find Markdown feeling like a formatting limitation, and I really don't want to go further down the "use the web to layout your text" rabbit hole for things I'm not going to publish *on* the web.
So, I have decided to learn the old ways. It's been fun so far!
