Pros of typst:

• It makes you happy while using it because it just works
• Packages are available in typst universe and you don’t need to install 2000 Debian packages to be able to use it reasonably because most things are just available
• There are some super cool packages like that diagrams one, or that inline comments one.
• If you have an error, it tells you what the fucking problem is instead of printing 2000 lines of crap and saying overfull hbox 200 times
• There are many templates for all kinds of purposes
• Math mode is a bit different from latex but mich easier to remember since you often just write things out. Fractions are just done with /, more complicated things are just writing the name out. It’s actually rather intuitive.
• The documentation is much better than latex, especially for the base language.
• It’s fast as fuck. My bachelor Thesis builds in milliseconds. No need to build 3 times over with each being 5 seconds.
• Like overleaf? typst.app has that too. Local works just as well though. Language server for neovim or other editors exist too.
• It’s actually programmable with variables and loops and conditionals and functions and all that if you need it.

Probably some more, just wrote a little list after waking up out of my head
