After reading the introductory page, I don't see any benefit over Quarto, and in fact some limitations in comparison.
Myst provides an AST-spec, but I doubt it would be easy to integrate that into Obsidian. Maybe other can shed light on it?

Quarto is more for publications.
I am getting a bit tired of all the markdown flavours and extensions
I note that it provides a different dialect of md compared to Obsidian, especially the syntax for admonitions. If one would stray that far, why not AsciiDoc? Myst provides an AST-spec, but I doubt it would be easy to integrate that into Obsidian. Maybe other can shed light on it?
No relation to the best-selling 90's PC game "Myst", in case anyone was wondering like I was.

I miss playing that game. My father bought the special edition which came with a journal that you could write your notes in it. And we played together taking notes and figuring out the puzzles.
What I haven't seen at a quick glance is the ability to link to any place in the document (sink) from withing the document itself (source). Maybe I did not look far enough in the examples. reStructuredTex can do this, and org-mode can do that too. And I don't mean just linking to existing headings. The other required things like footnotes and citations and so on seem to be there. Now if this reaches mainstream and we start writing documentation in it, there is great potential to have finally good documentation, not limited by the likes of github markdown. Of course same is true for reStructuredText and org-mode. From that perspective, one could ask, why yet another format was necessary, rather than improving tooling for lets say reStructuredText.
