A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.

This is very exciting. It actually allows some fairly advanced constructs and environments but keeps its (basic) syntax at a similarly simple level such as markdown.

It even has a 'code mode' in which you can call arbitrary expressions and pass arguments just doing #myfunc(myargument:true, another: 12). And those are then programmed in typst language (which I have not looked into yet). And even most basic markup is done in those so they are definitely powerful!

Basically wants to be LaTeX 2.0-ish. Does not yet have the same advanced page-orphan algorithms etc however. Can be used in quarto from 1.4 as markup language!
