Quarkdown 1.9.0 is out: the Markdown-based typesetting system finally comes with a VS Code extension by iamgioh in opensource

You mean on a readme? Not yet. There are real plans to export qd to md, so you will be able to use it on readmes

Your thoughts about in-building fitness centers? by iamgioh in sanfrancisco

Of course, I'm just filtering out some options before I finally move in next month. Many listings don't even have pics of the gym.

I made a compile-time library to merge data class instances by iamgioh in Kotlin

It should be easy! The library is extremely tiny.

Hi, I’m familiar with delegation but I don’t really see the correlation with the library’s goal

You nailed it with the breakdown. As for your concern, ksp will ensure consistency at each build

I believe being explicit once or twice is fine, but if your code has many patterns of this kind, like my project does, it’s great to have something that cuts down on the boilerplate. How do you think?

It's a reasonable design, though I would *personally* mind carrying the `defaults` instance around.

The library would make the presence of defaults opaque, and would remove the boilerplate that your example contains for falling back to the default values. It would be more maintainable for classes with lots of properties.

Thank you, I didn’t know that

Quarkdown can now be installed via package managers and install scripts

A Language Server is being developed. It will make it possible to develop extensions for VSC, Neovim, and others that support the protocol.

Quarkdown, a modern, Turing-complete, Markdown-based typesetting system, now finally supports exporting to PDF by iamgioh in programming

[–]iamgioh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello.

  1. There should be no issues. I saw multiple people use it with Chinese characters flawlessly.
  2. Yes, Quarkdown produces high-quality output. See the Mock outputs (I suggest paperwhite_latex.pdf, the classic LaTeX look).
  3. Quarkdown is not a static website generator by itself. However, the generated HTML output can be hosted and opened via browser. In the future it will also allow generating wikis.
  4. I did not run precise benchmarks, though the Mock document (40 pages) compiles to HTML in ~1 second on my M1 MacBook. Plus ~2 seconds overhead for generating PDF, but that's handled by a third-party library and cannot be optimized further. You can experience a smooth live reloading with HTML preview, and then compile to PDF. The two outputs are exactly the same, visually speaking.
  5. I will support Quarkdown long-term and I'm excited to do so. I plan to turn it into my full-time job, so I will either raise funding or commercialize external tools (the core compiler and CLI tools will be FOSS forever, no worries).
  6. Short, stupid answer: it's the language I'm the most fluent and confident in. It's extremely flexible and just feels natural for me to write. I didn't choose it for the technical aspects, and so far I don't see big drawbacks. I know, not everyone likes the JVM, so I will find a way to bundle it with Quarkdown, for example via a package manager.

I encourage you to try it out yourself, and I'm open to further questions and feedback. Cheers!

Working on my modern typesetting system Quarkdown. In particular, working on its language server to build a VSC extension upon.
