How does types compare to latex?
I really like it. I think it's on the right path as a competitor/successor to latex. I would agree with some of barbara's comments on it's age and maturity. It's being worked on by a lot of people and is open source which is cool. https://github.com/typst/
Overall it's easy to get started but there's a decent bit to learn like with any language. Creating templates like this is much, much easier though than it is in latex IMO. Overall I'm a fan and I'm slowly phasing out everything I've written in latex and am replacing it with
