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]^

There is a probability that I don’t use LaTeX extensively enough but I seldomly run into something that annoys me a lot. I’ve tried Typst once and due to everything being new, it took me quite a while to get everything how I wanted it to look and feel - just to switch back to TeX because I’m incredibly used to it and most of what I do is memorized already. I guess I’ll stay because LaTeX, for my use cases, is incredibly low friction and I don’t mind the compile times at all. Works fast enough for me.
