I recently deployed typst to generate PDF letters automatically. Being familiar with (La)TeX (I've typeset everything from letters to my PhD thesis), I was shocked at the speed. It's quick enough to use in an HTTP request cycle. The language was also super easy to learn.

Not sure if it's quite as good as TeX at typesetting, but it seems good enough. When I did my thesis, TikZ was even more valuable. I don't know if there's any replacement for that.
