pharmaverseadam vs typst-gather
A side-by-side editorial comparison of pharmaverseadam and typst-gather — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
pharmaverseadam vs typst-gather: at a glance
What is pharmaverseadam?
pharmaverseadam is the pharmaverse's test-data mirror, and it now covers neurology.
pharmaverseadam ships pre-built ADaM datasets generated by running the admiral family's own templates, so package authors and trainers have realistic analysis data without writing derivations first. The 1.3.0 release pulls in `ADAPET`, `ADTPET` and `ADNV` from admiralneuro and an anti-drug antibody dataset from admiral itself, and regenerates everything against current versions of seven upstream packages. Variables are now ordered and grouped to ADaM IG structure.
What is typst-gather?
Extracted from Quarto's CLI, typst-gather learned to explain a dependency tree before fetching it.
typst-gather collects Typst packages into a local cache so documents build offline and hermetically. It was extracted from quarto-cli and reached CRAN-equivalent shape in three releases over a single day, then added an `analyze` subcommand that walks `@Preview` and `@Local` imports — following transitive dependencies of local packages — and prints structured JSON without downloading or copying anything.

pharmaverseadam is the pharmaverse's test-data mirror, and it now covers neurology.
◆ Current state
pharmaverseadam ships pre-built ADaM datasets generated by running the admiral family's own templates, so package authors and trainers have realistic analysis data without writing derivations first. The 1.3.0 release pulls in `ADAPET`, `ADTPET` and `ADNV` from admiralneuro and an anti-drug antibody dataset from admiral itself, and regenerates everything against current versions of seven upstream packages. Variables are now ordered and grouped to ADaM IG structure.
◆ Where it's heading
Coverage tracks the pharmaverse's own therapeutic-area expansion with a lag of one release: pediatrics arrived in 1.1.0, metabolic in 1.2.0, neurology in 1.3.0. The other consistent thread is a slow move off development versions — 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 both had to pin unreleased upstream builds to get working templates, while 1.3.0 cites released versions throughout. Reorganising the reference page by therapeutic area is the same maturation showing up in documentation.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to follow the established pattern — a refresh against current upstream versions plus datasets from whichever admiral therapeutic-area package reaches a stable release next.
typst-gather
0.0ANALYTICS
Extracted from Quarto's CLI, typst-gather learned to explain a dependency tree before fetching it.
◆ Current state
typst-gather collects Typst packages into a local cache so documents build offline and hermetically. It was extracted from quarto-cli and reached CRAN-equivalent shape in three releases over a single day, then added an `analyze` subcommand that walks `@Preview` and `@Local` imports — following transitive dependencies of local packages — and prints structured JSON without downloading or copying anything.
◆ Where it's heading
The 0.2.0 restructuring is the tell: subcommands with backwards compatibility, config readable from stdin, and every diagnostic message moved to stderr so stdout carries nothing but JSON. Those are the conventions of a tool meant to be called by another program, not typed by a person. Given its origin inside Quarto's toolchain, the plausible consumer is a build system that needs to know a document's package requirements before deciding what to fetch.
◆ Prediction
The analyze path currently reports imports; the natural extension visible from here is acting on that report — lockfile output or verification that a cache satisfies a document's dependency set — though the entries do not commit to either.
