  I've been shilling https://typst.app/ https://typst.app/ to anyone who will listen (and some who won't), it's great. There are still missing features compared to latex, but what exists seems so much more intuitive.

      It seems to be on github with an Apache license (https://github.com/typst/typst https://github.com/typst/typst). Is there a catch I'm not seeing?

        He's probably upset that the online editor is closed source. Personally I think that's a reasonable monetization strategy long term.

          In Latex, the online editor i know (Overleaf) is also closed source.

    The fast pdf generation is great but I lament on their choice of markup language, why create yet another? I'm a fan of writing content in markdown and there is at least on markdown flavour (MyST markdown) that gives the essential writing features needed for papers. (citations, cross references, figures, tables)
