Typst is a replacement for TeX.
Not LaTeX.
You'd of course need to read the documentation on what TeX and LaTeX are to understand this. Most people would rather write a new system.
- mr_mitm 8mo agoI don't know why you think the condescending tone is appropriate. I've been using LaTeX for twenty years and I believe I understand the difference. I also respectfully disagree on your assessment of Typst.

- leephillips 8mo agoI’ve written book-length documents in Plain TeX (probably what you mean — nobody writes in “raw” tex) and in LaTeX. I would say that Typst, if it’s a replacement for anything, is a replacement for LuaLaTeX, because of its programmability. But in this article I framed it as a possible LaTeX replacement: https://lwn.net/Articles/1037577/ https://lwn.net/Articles/1037577/
