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

I really want to try our typst but realistically, I'm never going to write a paper in my life. The only document that I send as a PDF is my resume. I'm currently using jsonresume for this, and I'm reasonably happy with it.

Also, here's the tree-sitter [parser](https://github.com/SeniorMars/tree-sitter-typst). I don't think it's in a working state yet.
