Same boat here. It’s a very good layout language. And vastly superior production process. Will you find new edge cases? Yes. Is there a large user base covering all problems? No.

You can add: “Does Claude Code understand it well enough?” No as of a year ago, last time I checked.

Yesterday I had Claude write me a simple 3d renderer using the CetZ package (typst’s Tikz) to draw illustrations of surfaces for a math paper. It pretty much nailed it.

AI support is an interesting new facet of ecosystem quality. I wonder how much of this can be obviated with high quality tools. Coding agents can leverage language servers and documentation fairly well, but it’s not clear to me if that can fully compensate for weak language coverage in the training data.
