I think it’s this that keeps LaTeX alive, and the fact that as academics we already know it but Typst is a new DSL to learn on top of everything else that our job requires us to do.

There’s also some tooling that makes LaTeX not wholly unpleasant to use like in-buffer previews in Emacs and Detexify for symbol search:

Maybe Typst has tools like these too?
