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]^

Typst is way simpler to learn, especially if you're used to markdown. You can first approach it as a markup language like markdown, but with some scripting.

Package management in LaTeX is infuriatingly bad, you can't even specify the version you want to use.
