Much more modern. Way easier yet not as powerful (probably due to its age/ maturity. not language capabilities)
Just curious, but what do you mean by the following
And
Do you mean that's it's hard to get involved in the discussion regarding typst? If so, check out the discussions on the their github page: https://github.com/typst/typst/discussions
And also be sure to check out their discord; it's linked to from the main website.
Typst uses discord instead of matrix. Discord is proprietary and you can use discord only under discords terms which leaves out a couple of people. You can't just browse the chat rooms. It's not easy to use and simply behind modern open standards.
I mean that there is no proper forum for typst. E.g. https://discourse.julialang.org/ discourse.nixos.org/ https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ https://community.openstreetmap.org/ discussion.fedoraproject.org/ modern or updated projects all use discourse. There is no proper room where users can ask simple questions. Something like stack overflow but not stack overflow. A forum specifically for interested people. Github discussions should not be used for a user forum. Github discussions should be for discussions around the language, if you want to use github for that.
Ah ok I see where you're coming from. That all makes sense
