I checked Typst out a bit. It couldn’t do a specific, niche thing I want to do but in general it felt really nice. Definitely feels newer than LaTeX and with less technical debt/baggage. A bit more limited but still nice
And for some reason it seems there’s no community for Typst on Threadiverse
I’d rather say it’s a cross between the two. Because most of the text is written like MD but then it does have document settings and tables look like in LaTeX
