I don't use LaTeX for anything these days but Typst popped up recently and seems like a decent alternative: https://github.com/typst/typst

I dont like the idea of embedding a scripting language in my documents at all.

I mean LaTeX is Turing complete as well. It is just that scripting is very clunky to use.

Well, sure, I think thats part of the problem with it.

I dont think either of them have to be turing complete though.
