A Programmable Markup Language for Typesetting [pdf]
Thanks. Yes, rendering and shaping are distinct but some of the linked libraries did one, the other, or both and the parent commenter singled out rastering which is how I ended up putting FreeType and HarfBuzz in the same sentence. Even then both are commonly used in tandem (see [1]-[9]) and have a few overlapping functionalities.
> it does support BiDi, complex script shaping
Hey, that is indeed quite good. Would you mind if I ask you how well is the support for popular Asian languages?
> linking C and Rust in WASM is unfortunately not really possible
Damn. I am not very experienced in Rust but I would not have guessed that. I apologize if I misrepresented difficulties related to targeting WASM.

Typst, a modern LaTeX alternative written in Rust, is now open source
Looks like it doesn't support CSL (yet) but someone just opened an issue for it https://github.com/typst/hayagriva/issues/32 . CSL has a ton of citation styles https://www.zotero.org/styles . That wouldn't replace all features of biblatex of course, but it would be a start

A Programmable Markup Language for Typesetting [pdf]
For the purposes of this thesis I coded the citation style and numbering using Typst's introspection system and handwrote the references. However, we have also written a BibLaTeX-compatible citation system called hayagriva [1] for Typst. We haven't yet integrated it, but want to do so before our public beta.

What are some alternatives?
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
typst - A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.
