Typst is a very young but very promising markup language with use-cases similar to LaTeX. One big objective advantage of typst over LaTeX is compilation speed.

For that reason alone, it would be nice to be able to export org to PDF through typst.

Does anyone have a fledgling ox-typst implementation (open to contributions)?

For reference https://github.com/typst/typst

Looking quickly at the spec, I don't think much of the typst functionality would be used by an org exporter.

If you are interested in such an exporter, I'd recommend you put together a description of the mappings that you'd like to see. That is, what org features do you need and how does that translate into a typst feature; I'm not asking for an implementation, just guidance on the scope of a first-pass at the exporter. That will give someone with the technical skills to implement an org exporter guidance as to what features to focus on.
