This is cool. I could see myself using this for notes.

You can use it with AsciiDoc readily, if you use that [1]. With anything you could also use MathML in an HTML-passthrough block, but it's pretty verbose.
What exactly is the distinction between this and mathjax? At first glance it looks like this is a wrapper on top of mathjax, or is it something different?
I guess it’s just more “natural” and less latex like.
$$\sum_{i=0}^n i^2 = \frac{(n)}{2}$$
Vs
sum_(i=o)^n i^2=((n)/2)

It's too bad MathML never supported ASCII math. The web might be a different place if it did.

Asciidoctor renders AsciiMath to MathML [1], I imagine that it's a fairly common target after MathML (Core) was revived from the dead. While MathML is pretty verbose to write by hand, I think things like AsciiMath and LaTeX are on a different level of abstraction. You can't embed AsciiMath directly in HTML in the same way that you can't embed Markdown directly in HTML.
