With all the @ symbols, it reminds me a lot of Lout.

Unfortunately, Lout never really took off, but I have fond memories of it. I liked it more than LaTeX, too.

That is something I accidentally discovered. TexInfo also uses @.

same, I used to use it to add PDF generation to my small projects because it was really easy to synthesise and output lout

What about Typst? Looks to me as a valid TeX successor with a streamlined syntax and much better programming abilities without the limitations of 1977/1982.

Typst is on my list, I wanted to have a look at this year, but unfortunately no time and no need. Except for one letter every one or two years I did not use LaTeX since my diploma thesis.
