I wrote three books with LateX. I hate this language with the intensity of a thousand suns. I hope Typst will be able to take over.

You take a language designed around the limitations of 1970’s computers and the absence of limitations of Donald Knuth’s brain, and then you build a document system on top of that. What could possibly go wrong? =)

Interesting. What's the main reason? Do you already have representative experience with Typst? Does it really solve the issues you perceived with Latex? Are you satisfied with the typographic quality of Typst? (why I'm interested: https://github.com/rochus-keller/typos/)
