At first glance it looks much easier than LaTeX. However, there is a vast trove
of tools at CTAN, and I wonder how easy it would be to do the equivalent of
<http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3/humor/DOX.pdf>, which in LaTeX is short and sweet
if you don't count the boilerplate headers:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\usepackage[paperheight=10in,paperwidth=10in,top=0.25in, bottom=0.25in,
left=0in, right=0in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\setbondstyle{line width=2pt}
\setdoublesep{4pt}
\renewcommand*\printatom[1]{\ensuremath{\mathbf{#1}}}
%\headheight 0pt
%\headsep 0pt
%\footskip 0pt
\pagestyle{empty}
%\vsize 10in
\vspace{0.5in}
\begin{center}
{\Huge \chemname{\chemfig{*6(-=-(-DOX)=(-DOX)-=)}}{\bfseries Ortho DOX\ \ }}
\end{center}
\vspace{0.5in}
\begin{center}
{\Huge \chemname{\chemfig{*6(-(-DOX)=-=(-DOX)-=)}}{\bfseries Para DOX}}
\end{center}
\end{document}

Subject: Typst [non-mainframe]
I am not a user of typesetting languages so I have no real personal feelings,
but I know others here have expressed a fondness for LaTeX, so this
announcement caught my eye.
"Typst is a typesetting system designed to be as powerful as LaTeX and easier
to use. It comes with built-in markup for common formatting tasks and flexible
functions for everything else, as well as a tightly integrated scripting
system. Typst supports math typesetting, bibliography management, and
incremental compilation for fast compile times. It provides friendly error
messages if something goes wrong. Examples are available in the repository."
The example seems pretty cool to me.
