Migrarate to typst.ts

[kwinso]

What about typst.ts? I think it will remove a lot of complexity. Also, the bundle size is smaller than the current implementation.

It can compile in memory file, as shown here.

It will eliminate a lot of troubles like mobile file reading, as we'll stay in JS async land, so there's no need on round trips between rust and js.

I think this will help with focusing on the actual functionality rather than fighting with bugs.

I've had many suggestions to use typst.ts and in short: no, I do not want to use it.

• Completely lacking in documentation (I understand this is being worked on)
• It won't remove any complexity it'll just out source them instead, which would cause further problems
• No we won't stay in JS async land, typst.ts uses an access model concept which is essentially a bunch of callbacks. These are all required to be synchronous. The only reason it works is because of a synchronous xhr.
