Integration with Typst project about penrose

[Enter-tainer]

penpose is not a pure js project: optimizer contains wasm. So i guess it is not possible to run it inside typst now

That'd be awesome! Some our discord members chatted about making a plugin for Obsidian and I started experimenting with it here: https://github.com/wodeni/obsidian-penrose-plugin. Would be great to have Typst integration too. I guess to start the discussion: what are the technical constraints for the integration? Not super familiar with their ecosystem and would love to learn more.

Typst has a wasm based plugin system. Where it can run wasm32-baremetal code and get the result. I compiled quickjs javascript engine to wasm and made the jogs package. So basically, we can say typst can run javascript.

We already have wavedrom, mathjax, pintora running in typst(although they are somehow slow-ish).

Per #1688 penpose is possible to run out of browser and produce svg string without much modification. I will try if it can run in typst.

as of #1654 the optimizer is not longer written is rust. the only non-js part is actually produced at runtime by the autodiff engine (https://github.com/rose-lang/rose), which produces wasm modules at runtime. does this prevent typst from running penrose?

@wodeni Just to clarify, Rose itself also includes Wasm (compiled from Rust), not just the Wasm it dynamically generates.

Right, so if typst requires all deps to be pure js, then rose would not be one

typst can run js through the embedded quickjs engine. and the code wasm bindgen generated is target to browser. so it's not easy to run penpose in qjs and typst.
