I like to read more about which tool is better for what. I only know #TeXLaTeX.

@kuchenmampfer mentioned faster compile times of #Typst, which might make it good for report generation, i.e. "mass production". It would have to have very good support for tables, incl. long tables, though.

@debacle @alerque @typst @kuchenmampfer a good example of mass production is probably #zerodha (https://zerodha.tech/blog/1-5-million-pdfs-in-25-minutes/). They used Typst in early 2024, and since then it has only improved so. I find Typst table support to be functional and fairly complete. It's definitely different from #LaTeX, but it does have its advantages.

Ironically, I wouldn't use Typst in an academic setting. There's just too much friction. Unless you've managed to convince your collaborators AND the publishing venue if necessary then it's unlikely to work. The exception being, if you work mostly alone.
