So, I will try it once I have time, but how doable is it to bent this thing to your will? Because the main problem I have with latex is that I am often trying to do something, which it just isn't made to handle.
For example, I often find lots of hyphens and justified text hard to read, so I try to get latex to not use justified text and to never hyphenate.
However, latex seems to be really bad when you want to do unconventional stuff like that, having to use hackey workarounds which often cause errors all over the place.
Typst is still quite early in development, so there are missing features. Having said that, based on the docs it looks like unjustified text without hyphens is already possible.
I was just curious. You're doing this kind of stuff? https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/269914 It seems to give an alternative for this, but I have no idea about the pitfalls and downsides of this.

The obvious problem that comes to mind is links; otherwise I don’t see the problem. And I can’t think of an alternative to LaTeX that would do better—certainly not Word.
