For easy pdfs, use markdown with a typst backend

    Typst syntax is already simple enough. Why add an unnecessary layer of abstraction

    It depends on what you need more often. If you need high quality pdf papers with fancy stuff, using typst directly isn't too bad.

    If you write everything else in markdown, use computer languagss in addition to that and want to connect typesetting and programming, then markdown with a solid typst template is the way to go for me.
