Explore the Julia-to-Typst interface through this 27-minute conference talk from JuliaCon Global 2025. Learn about Typstry.jl, a Julia package that provides seamless integration with Typst, a modern typesetting system that has rapidly gained popularity since its 2023 release with over 44,000 GitHub stars. Discover how Typst offers powerful features including PDF, PNG, and SVG export capabilities, incremental compilation for improved performance, intuitive mathematical syntax, integrated scripting language, and user-friendly error messages. Understand how Typstry.jl enables you to write, generate, and render Typst documents directly from Julia using custom strings and macros, configurable formatting for Julia values that can be extended for custom types, and integrated string interpolation capabilities. See how the package allows you to run Typst's command-line interface through custom commands and macros, enabling single-function rendering of Julia values. Examine the interoperability with various Julia packages that enhance rendering capabilities within notebooks, Makie.jl plots, and Typst source code. Gain insights into the current state of Typst adoption within the Julia ecosystem and explore future development plans including improved package support, additional type formatting, and partial Julia-to-Typst transpilation features.
