You can see all the options for `text` here: https://typst.app/docs/reference/text/text It will likely need some reorganization in time, but is quite functional.

The command line comes with a few defaults such as the open source Libertinus for text or New CMM for math, but may fall back to your System fonts for characters like emoji (and there are flags to disable system fonts). You can also set a specific path to look up font files.

And then the web app has plenty of fonts in an extensive dropdown, and supports dropping in custom font files that will be automatically recognized.

I believe one current limitation is bitmap fonts not working properly, but that is being actively developed by a contributor.

I'm optimistic that Typst won't run into the issues you mention. I see it as doing well at incorporating the knowledge of the past into simpler, better interfaces.

    -- declare an operator function with underscores:
    if_then_else_ : {A : Set} -> Bool -> A -> A -> A
    -- define the function:
    if true then x else y = x
    if false then x else y = y
    -- call it:
    if_then_else_ cond first second
    -- or use it infix:
    if cond then first else second
    -- or partially apply "sections" of the operator:
    -- this is really cool
    (if_then first else second) cond
    (if cond then_else second) first
    if cond then first else_ second
    if cond then_else_ first second
    if_then first else_ cond second
    (if_then_else second) cond first

Oils goal is that OSH is just a new Bash implementation (although not bug-for-bug) but with an upgrade-path to the more modern YSH for real programming with type safety etc, but still as a shell language. One of their exciting ideas is using code as data in a somewhat lisp-like manner to allow function introspection in YSH etc.

Based on other comments it seems like Oil Shell is much more principled in working to actually understand Bash as it exists and presenting an alternative language. I would be interested in what differentiates Amber and whether they have a response to Oils?
