I can't wait for LaTeX to go away in favor of Typst. The experience is night and day. Very impressed with their work.
I've been using Jinja2 templates to generate TeX files, but Typst can take a JSON over the command line and is easy to use and powerful enough that I can completely remove the Python step.
Not to speak of the compile time that is measured in milliseconds.
Yes, the scripting is very nice. At first, I played around with Go templates to generate the Typst templates, since that is what I was used to doing with LaTeX. It was very nice to discover it allows you to use JSON with its scripting engine directly pretty easily.
