I must say I really like the more straightforward syntax, semantics, and distribution model of Typst. LaTeX is akin to programming with the C preprocessor, it's both ridiculous and amazing what people have done with it but it gets quickly intractable. However, I really do enjoy the quality of graphics, diagrammatic, and scientific output from LaTeX, even if typing them is a pain (LLMs are a huge help here). So asking the community here: what does Typst offer in place of PGF/TikZ[1], PGFPlots[2], Asymptote[3], chemfig[4], siunitx[5], physics2[6], and how does it work with existing bibliography providers? I use biber[7] with the Zotero Connector and Better BibTeX[8] so any paper I visit on the web is essentially instantly available to cite with one click on LaTeX. A good test for Typst ought to be reproducing most of these typographic and diagrammatic exemplars: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319/ https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319/ [1]: https://tikz.dev/ https://tikz.dev/ [2]: https://tikz.dev/pgfplots/ https://tikz.dev/pgfplots/ [3]: https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/ https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/ [4]: https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/chemfig/chemfig-en.pdf https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/chemfig/chemfig-en.p...
