Ah I see, so not exactly the kind of thing you'd notice making a document but you would if trying to extend the actual language. I mean TeX is basically an overpowered lambda calculus with a focus on text markup and generation.

I suppose the fact that LaTeX works at all is a testament to TeX's power, but yes I can imagine a better base language could be relevant for something like Typst.
