Interesting idea! Typst is compelling (Rust-based too). Not on immediate roadmap but could be a future addition. TeX is heavier but possible via external tools + pipeline feature.
Open source doesn't mean relinquished from capital by any means. I also don't blame the author of typst. But TeX is truly free from capital, and that should mean far more than the aesthetics of a nicer interface.

Or even better, TeX. I realize capital bought out even basic typesetting but let's not encourage this
Typst is open-source.
