In a comparison between Typst and LaTeX, another thing to consider is the development speed and quality.
We Julians like both the development speed and performance speed when implementing projects in Julia. In 12+ years we’ve managed to rival and even surpass the performance and user experience of other ecosystems that have had 20+ years to hone their craft.
Typst has demonstrated that kind of progress as well, heck it’s already much faster that LaTeX in many cases such as compiling our Julia docs, and new user entry level is much easier. For the same reason I choose Julia for its potential over Python, MATLAB, C++, etc., I prefer Typst for its potential over LaTeX and any TeX derivatives.
That said, like many have pointed out, it’s not yet featured enough to cover many use cases. I sometimes still work with Pluto.jl or MarkDown files over Typst depending on what I need for my task.
