I don't 100% understand LPPL, but I believe it qualifies under open source, but regardless if it's open source or not, LaTeX > Word and I will die on this hill.
Typst >= LaTeX >> Word
Oooh! I've been waiting for someone to try to replace LaTeX.
It's really nice. I have high hopes that this project will succeed.
...elaborate?
I don't think that we have to discuss how much superior LaTeX is over Word. Typst on the other hand is a new approach in the whole typesetting language space. It's syntax is very similar to markdown but it provides (almost) everything you would expect from LaTeX with the benefit of a far more organized, intuitive and efficient workflow. You may visit their website typst.app to get more detailed info.
