I get the motivation, but it honestly feels a bit weird to use tens of thousands of lines of python code to do something that you can just directly do in typst.

I mean, a CV is not really rocket science and there are quite a few great typst templates out there.

As someone who's done a lot of hiring over the years and read/scanned thousands of resumes, I can attest: CVs are indeed rocket science.

Point taken, but I'd prefer 200 lines of rocket science that I understand and control over 60k lines of (cleanly written and documented) rocket science.

(Although admittedly both plain typst and this project are still way less complex than LaTeX.)
