I’d say it still have a long way to go, especially for advanced use cases

If you just want to have a quick pdf generator, it’s definitely the right tool.

One thing that’s way better is the scripting. In LaTeX it’s just an afterthought, simply exposing its convoluted core. In Typst, it feels way more like a first class feature.
