I think this might be the most visually perfect mathematical expression:



Aaah, LaTeX. It's been too long. I'll never stop being amazed at just how good everything looks in it.

Die! Die! Die, sister-fucking rat bastard!

LaTeX is one of the few pieces of software that makes me froth at the mouth! Even when I was using it fifteen years ago there were better alternatives, albeit for a steep price. Tell me you're not using it voluntarily.

Of course I am. No one is going to take technical papers typeset in anything else seriously.

Have you read a conference proceedings or other collection of papers from within the last 8 years? Everyone switched to Word a long time ago. There are a few LaTeX holdouts and a few new people coming to use it, but there are also people who learn C in this day and age and think it's OG to write it K&R. Some of them even like to pretend void doesn't exist!
