His latest project is https://radicalpie.com/

A Professional Equation Editor for Windows 10/11 for 60$ that uses Slug for rendering. Presumably he‘s using it to write his great FGED books.

25 years ago I would have loved that. But I don't actually know many people still doing any of this sort of work on Windows.

(I get it. It's an awesome replacement for MathType. It uses OLE so that it embeds in Microsoft Word nicely. Still...)

Most primary, secondary, and pre-university school teachers without an institutional understanding of LaTeX, which admittedly has an extremely high (technical, not financial) barrier to entry compared to Microsoft Word + MathType. This is what my secondary school teachers used, for instance. They're given bog-standard laptops with Windows to work with.

Also exam setters and writers in places like Cambridge University Press and Assessment. If you took a GCSE, O-level, or A-level exam administered by them, it had pretty high quality typesetting for maths, physics diagrams, chemistry skeletal diagrams and reaction pathways... But almost none of it was done with LaTeX, and instead probably all add-ons to Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign.

Depressingly I don't actually know many people still doing any of this sort of work, on any platform.

What stack are those people using?

He has a post up: https://terathon.com/blog/radical-pie.html

I'm pretty confident the "stack" is C++ on Win32, with a bunch of hand-rolled libraries and no stdlib.

Will probably run great in Proton.

I think they meant writing complex equations on windows

		Or doing work that regularly involves writing complex equations, which is what I was asking about - what field and what do they use?
