Awesome.

I dislike the latex math syntax per the reasons stated in the github article. I also like the idea of being able to output polynomials from a math calculation in python without having to roll my own latex pretty printer (many libraries exist here, but given my infrequent use case I like to keep things as simple as possible).

If I'm honest, I had only thought of intermixing tex with other constructs from the web (e.g. Markdown) and 'lax' gave me the idea to look around. I found a few more tidbits:

While I prefer vim and like the bindings, I like to have editor agnostic tools.

For those interested, I currently use pandoc, markdown, and latex -- via vim -- with an Ergodox EZ... (https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/ywYn/latest/0).
