  Can't tell if it's open source or not. My experience with closed source text formatters (Frame, Word of course, something else that doesn't come to mind) is that either (A) the proprietary company changes format rendering all your valuable documents unusable or (B) licensing fees go up, you decide not to pay those pirates the ransom and all your valuable documents are rendered unusable. Open source code for text formatters. It's the only option for long-lived documents.

    It's open source. Everything about it is open source except for a little web app thing (which is a really nice one, but you don't have to use it). I am using Typst to write my dissertation along with git and it's great. They have several pieces to the project at https://github.com/typst https://github.com/typst . The comemo package actually seems quite useful for everyone that writes Rust, regardless of if it's related to Typst or typesetting at all. Though, I don't write much Rust, so take that with a bag of salt.
