Typst still has a syntax that one needs to learn (or Google it).

Overleaf's slowness is not a LaTeX issue. I was using LaTeX IDEs with near-instant previews more than 10y ago.

Then again, why such emphasis on the preview? Both LaTeX and Typst are not WYSIWYG. The content is already in front of you. There's space for improvement, but building new systems is not the most optimal solution.

Building new systems is actually your only chance of achieving an optimal solution. That's why there is death.
