This looks like a pretty cool project. The syntax removes a lot of the complexity of tex, while still being fairly similar.

I see how this could be attractive especially to new students.

What I haven't seen (and hopefully I just missed it) is a way to run this locally. Would my documents be permanently tied to the typst online editor?

If that is the case than I don't think it has any real chance of adoption. They cease to exist and my raw documents become instantly worthless.

Not to mention offline editing, etc.

They plan to publish an open source CLI in the next few weeks, apparently.

Open source CLI to a closed source service?

I just discovered Typst on this thread and I'm pretty excited about it. It looks like they'll release the compiler source code when they open for public beta.[0] If this includes all of the pieces to run Typst locally, I'll be eager to try it out.
