I recently finished writing my thesis (in which I used Julia almost exclusively) in Typst, and the experience has been extremely positive overall. The documentation is great. I only used 2 extra packages (to have table of contents for each chapter and a glossary) and everything worked perfectly. My supervisor was able to proofread and comment in their web interface.
I only had a problem at the very end, as Typst 0.11 wouldn’t let me export to PDF/A format. This problem was (more or less) solved with Typst 0.12.
