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]^

Some journals and conferences are starting to accept Typst.

Personally, the huge difference with LaTeX is that if I want to do something slightly complex that is not covered by a third-party plugin, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and script it myself, whereas in LaTeX, I dread writing macros that do more than being notations/shorthands.
