The nice thing about Typst is that I think they've built up a community and business model that should disincentivize enshittification. The compiler is open source, and there's a large number of people using it now. If they start enshittifying, it can just be forked and maintained by the community at the very least at the level of functionality it's currently at, which is good enough for a large segment of people.

You can still write in markdown and use pandoc to create typst.

Sure, but if you want to just _write_ then latex is just fine. I don’t understand why you had to write in markdown?

Because standard constructions like emphasize, code blocks, headers, lists etc. Are incredibly difficult to both read and write hampering the writing flow a lot.

Both markdown and typst solves this.
