I had been using LaTeX at work and decided to give Typst a try:
I installed the compiler and vscode extensions to run Typst natively.
Setting up my orgs template in Typst was significantly easier then LaTeX and took about 20% less lines of code.
I like the more modern, practical syntax for writing docs.
It's still a relatively young project though, so I found a few rough edges:
Overall I was positively impressed, but went back to LaTeX mostly because of the last two points. Curious to see how Typst will be in a few years!
