The result of my first tinkering with #typst:
```
#let LATEX = {
[L];box(move(
dx: -4.2pt, dy: -1.2pt,
box(scale(65%)[A])
));box(move(
dx: -5.7pt, dy: 0pt,
[T]
));box(move(
dx: -7.0pt, dy: 2.7pt,
box(scale(100%)[E])
));box(move(
dx: -8.0pt, dy: 0pt,
[X]
));h(-8.0pt)
}
It is possible that #LATEX will soon be obsolete.
```

@cark Does it have the power and flexibility of latext? my concern it is simplified away most of the advantage of using latex... but thats only at a cursory glance, I'd actually love to give it a try
@freemo From what I can see #Typst is it is at least as powerful as #LaTeX. Because the scripting capabilities are much simpler than in LaTeX, I think in practice it is much more powerful because one could achieve the same result with way less hassle.
That said: LaTeX ecosystem had a head start of >40 years. Thus, for many common task there are packages and recipes available.
However, adapting and combining those to specific needs often is nontrivial and sometimes frustrating.
