Typst, a modern alternative to LaTeX, is now open source
This sounds like the superior solution. Of course you can run any command inside LaTeX and thus embed code... It just has to output valid LaTeX I think. There's also this: https://github.com/tndrle/PyLuaTeX (to run Python code).

How to write LaTeX without writing LaTeX
If your only target from Markdown is LaTeX, I recommend the LaTeX markdown package which uses lua to parse and convert the input markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown
Pandoc shines when targetting multiple backends, like EPUB, HTML and LaTeX/PDF. But the LaTeX markdown package has one advantage when only targetting LaTeX, especially in academic settings: it translates everything to the LaTeX you'd expected. For example, citations are translated into biblatex calls, while pandoc generates all of the citations and the bibliography by itself, bypassing the style and behavior you and your professors might expect.

Coming soon: Publishing Beautiful Books with Markdown
For a conversion to an e-book, it is possible to take a trip through (La)TeX and TeX4ht, or use Pandoc, which is pretty good at converting from Markdown to HTML (better than between, say, HTML and LaTeX). We will cover all these aspects and more in our book, which itself will be written and typeset using the Markdown package.
What are some alternatives?
typst - A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.
org-fragtog - Automatically toggle Org mode LaTeX fragment previews as the cursor enters and exits them
pgfplots - pgfplots - A TeX package to draw normal and/or logarithmic plots directly in TeX in two and three dimensions with a user-friendly interface and pgfplotstable - a TeX package to round and format numerical tables. Examples in manuals and/or on web site.
novelWriter - novelWriter is an open source plain text editor designed for writing novels. It supports a minimal markdown-like syntax for formatting text. It is written with Python 3 (3.9+) and Qt 5 (5.15) for cross-platform support.
