What Hacker News says?
One thing that LaTeX still win is CJK support, typst is still very young and lacks professional support for non-latin languages: https://blog.ppresume.com/posts/on-typesetting-engines#concl... I admit that typst is quite promising and given enough time, its adoption will increase quite a lot.

HN discussionTypst is a pretty good alternative to LaTeX and I agree all pros in your comment, with only one major deal breaker now: its CJK support is not mature enough and not producation-ready yet. I wrote a post half year ago explained the details for my decision between LaTeX and Typst: https://blog.ppresume.com/posts/on-typesetting-engines#typst
