    A sensible person, in the process of learning TeX, would do things like "Let's figure out basic typesetting features and document structuring tags"

    Me, on the other hand, in the process of learning TeX, immediately goes "How do I pick fonts, fuck with OpenType features, and implement named alternate text styles."

    I'm not even doing math with it.

    I don't have any compelling need to make math I'm just like "should I write in TeX instead of LibreOffice"

    This is actually not nearly as difficult as i thought it was going to be. It is a *bit* arcane, but turns out there's a lot of documentation out there.
