  • I’ve used Typst a good bit for both fully private stuff and for uni shenanigans and can say that it has fully replaced Latex for me (when I have a choice, I have managed to convince a few others too). The main thing that won me over was the compilation speed, but the more I’ve used it the more natural it feels compared to Latex. It’s modern by default (you can really just use it with no preamble and it’s sane enough), and the ability to write a mostly normal programming language is just amazing. I’ve produced plenty of simple plots fully within Typst for example, and things like show-rules are genuine innovation. It’s of course not perfect, but at this point a good number of these are just additional packages that could be written.
