Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use. ^[1.1]^

I've written my bachelors thesis with it.

You won't get any official pre made templates for your thesis (yet) and if you require some obscure notation you probably won't find a ready made package for it.

For my purposes I only needed some pictures and code blocks which works perfectly fine.

Also typst's show rules are awesome.
