Interesting idea! Typst is compelling (Rust-based too). Not on immediate roadmap but could be a future addition. TeX is heavier but possible via external tools + pipeline feature.

Typst is open-source.

Open source doesn't mean relinquished from capital by any means. I also don't blame the author of typst. But TeX is truly free from capital, and that should mean far more than the aesthetics of a nicer interface.

Integration with typst will be more straightforward than latex.

Yes, at the cost of dragging people into subscription software. Fuck off

How?
