It will be hard to replace LaTeX. I still use it. It's virtually bug-free and compiles documents from 30 years ago. I sincerely think it will be around for another 30. It's tried and tested and that's hard to find in the software world. Typst looks interesting though. I'll keep my eye on it...
How do you handle internationalization, and, in particular, hyphenation? That’s the main reason I use LaTeX for (well, specifically XeTeX & Tectonic, which are pretty modern). Without those two features, one might as well use LibreOffice, no?
Might still be pretty limited, but I've been looking for something with a more modern syntax for years, and this seems a good candidate! Thanks for sharing.
Of course it will take years to replace LaTeX, but we need to begin working on it.
Typst is still fairly limited. Luckily it has a strong webassembly based plugin interface. I am currently using it for anything I'd otherwise use latex for.
I started using it in the last couple of days after reading this and I find it amazing. It's limited in the sense that it may lack templates and a lot of other things, but it's so easy to code for it, that I expect the community will make everything that is needed really quickly. I am SO impressed. I love it.
