As for getting exactly the design you want, in my experience hacking into LaTeX can actually be more complicated than building it from scratch using plain TeX or expanded plain TeX. The nice thing about the pure TeX engine is that it just provides the basic typesetting facilities and makes very few assumptions about the layout you want to implement.

There are slides and presentation videos worth watching.

It’s designed to lower the barrier to entry to the TeX world…

Don’t miss other TeX macros packages such as ConTeXt
or even other TeX implementations such as XeTeX

Can’t wait to see the result!
