What we’re doing to make Quarto fast(er) (Carlos Scheidegger, Posit) | posit::conf(2025)
What we’re doing to make Quarto fast(er) Speaker(s): Carlos Scheidegger
Abstract: Quarto is a powerful system, but its performance leaves much to be desired. In this talk, I’ll go through the things that make Quarto slow, and I will describe the journey I’m taking in 2025 to fix the issues. This is going to be a deeper technical talk on performance analysis, profiling, and will include discussing the custom tooling we’ve had to build to measure performance in a system as complex as Quarto.

Never again in outer par mode: making next-generation PDFs with Quarto & typst - posit::conf(2023)
Presented by Carlos Scheidegger
Quarto 1.4 will introduce support for Typst. Typst is a brand-new open-source typesetting system built from scratch to support the lessons we have learned over almost half a century of high-quality computer typesetting that TeX and LaTeX have enabled. If you’ve ever had to produce a PDF with Quarto and got stuck handling an inscrutable error message from LaTeX, or wanted to create a new template but were too intimated by LaTeX’s arcane syntax, this talk is for you. I’ll show you why we need an alternative for TeX and LaTeX , and why it will make Quarto even better.
