    I'm excited to try this out when the beta releases. I wonder what typesetting algorithm they're using. Hopefully it can produce output at least on-par with TeX's Knuth-Platt algorithm.

    Also the math syntax as shown is probably a big win. I imagine there's some missing control compared to TeX, but overall it looks WAY easier to write and read.
