In reply to @nervecenter "I love Typst so": I'll ask the authors of the
language in the upcoming community call why Rust, rather than other language 😛
Which is in a month or something.
But thinking about it, the most probably answer to get is just that, he already
knew it, it's performant enough for what Typst needs, it gives you a lot of
safety guarantees (important), language is quite stable (it has only taken some
few dependencies to force Typst to update dependencies, otherwise it is strict
about not updating unless necessary), and, lastly, community/boom (something
that Nim... isn't comparable strictly)
