Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use. ^[1.1]^

I love typst but I don't use it. Academic journal templates are all latex, so I can't use it for my primary use case.

From my limited journal submission experience, some at least just want a PDF. They'll re-set the thing anyway.

Unfortunately not for most physics journals. Initial can be a PDF, but subsequent needs latex sources.
