I think that might be true at some maths and computer science meetings but is unheard of in other scientific fields.

  It's the standard in most hard science fields. Also common in some humanities, too.

    Can I ask which humanities? I'm probably showing my bias here, but I'm (respectfully) surprised that, say, poets would want to work in LaTeX :)

      Linguistics and many of its subbranches. Historians, archaeologists and to be honest LaTeX is great for poetry.

  CS strongly prefers LaTeX [0,1] while broader journals and conferences prefer MS Word over it [2,3]. As long as there is not a solid infrastructure for these other typesetting systems, I never saw the appeal. I think for internal company reports they do have their uses, but other than that, why not use the LaTeX or Word? Realistically any person wanting to submit a work will know how to work with either one or the other. I also don't see the need for journals and conferences to make a typst template for exactly these reasons. The templates will have to be community-made and then you still run the risk of having a paper rejected a year from now because the template is outdated.

  You make a fair point - I'm talking specifically about CS/ML/AI conferences. I shouldn't overgeneralize.
