Could you build this?

Partial A basic Typst-to-Rust transpiler for a subset of the language is within reach of AI-assisted coding, since Typst's parser crates exist. Faithful translation of Typst's markup, scripting, and layout semantics into Rust is a compiler-design problem that vibe coding alone may not solve.

What it would actually take: Start from the existing Typst parser/syntax crates to get an AST, then write a lowering pass that maps Typst's dynamic values and content model onto a Rust runtime or generated code. The hard part is semantic fidelity: Typst's scripting, content blocks, and layout behaviour don't map cleanly onto Rust's static types. Expect compiler-engineering experience and extensive test corpora to verify correctness.
