I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst
I hate a lot of things about LaTeX (also wrote several theses in it, as well as research articles), but the math syntax definitely wasn't one of them. Why on earth would they change it?

considering the Typst founders are German I wonder if this was one of their concerns with LaTex. Typing \ on QWERTZ is painful
