The LaTeX community is astonishingly good at gatekeeping. I can't think of another field where the adoption of a clearly superior modern alternative has been so slow. For some reason, they seem to take pride in clinging to a 50-year-old typesetting system—with its bloated footprint, sluggish compilation, incomprehensible error messages, and a baroque syntax that nobody truly understands. People have simply learned just enough to make it work, and now they treat that fragile familiarity as a virtue. |

Typst was an amazing addition to the modern IT stack. I use it whenever I can. The only issue is that companies like Google and Micrososft are dominating the collaboration space and I have zero chance to convince a comany to adopt Typst for internal documents that need to look good. It would be great though.
