There's also Sile: https://sile-typesetter.org/ LaTeX (Well, LuaTeX) powers my E-ink newspaper ( https://imgur.com/a/NoTr8XX ), but I've been curious to use it as a vehicle to try out some of these alternatives and see if they can put together a non-trivial layout.
coffee stain is incredible lol
But developing your own replacement to LaTeX is whole new level.
Nice one :-)
Does this delegate to plain TeX or render text by itself? Knuth spent years on stuff like kerning of formulas and hyphenation.

It seems to me that LaTeX is primarily used as academic gatekeeping. This is one step better, but why a new DSL versus a library to build your layout representation from a common language?

A big chunk of academic papers are done in Word, even in mathematics.
I think a DSL really makes sense here, because that’s what you spend half of your time dealing with—the syntax—so there is a lot of room to make it easier.

document(
paragraph("blah blah blah"),
math("sum_(i=1)^n i = (n (n+1))/2"),
paragraph("foo bar")
)
