Yeah like wjholden said it's not hard. It takes a bit of adjustment but most of that ends up with simplification. For example, where on latex you use asmsmath and you need flalign, align and a bunch of other stuff on typst you just use the built-in equation setup, and customize it a bit if you want to (eg if your standard equation env in amsmath is flalign/flalign* then in typst you can just once set up those params (how you want it indented/aligned/padded/numbered) and after that $ block of equations $ is aligned and numbered the way you want with no further fuss. You can also do things like have a labeled equation block that only gets numbered if you end up using the label and the number goes away if you edit the reference away etc.
