Now that Typst exists is pure LaTeX necessary anymore?

• goku12 3y ago
  For one, graphics in typst is no match for LaTeX with tikz. Typst is trying to integrate Penrose as an alternative. We definitely need a modern general-purpose diagram and illustration DSL. It's to be seen whether Penrose can fill that role. Another matter is that there are many LaTeX templates for many academic journals. LaTeX will reign supreme until typst templates are created and adopted as an alternative. Finally, there's on matter I don't know about. I've heard that the TeX engine solves some tough optimization problems on word spacing, line breaking and layout. I wonder how typst compares, given it's young age.
