Let me introduce Typst: https://github.com/typst/typst.

Just started using it today and it's pretty neat

I'm using it for a year and it came a long way. Though still in beta and still have some major bummers (which require hacking). But it only came out in 2023. The next update should add a ton of QoL things, so this will be pretty exciting.

It's still rough around the edges, but at least it seems to understand what LaTeX did well, and what people didn't like about it.

Oh, that is 100% true. The mental model (and syntax) is much, much better, but the feature set is smol (for academic and legal stuff).
