What are the advantages of this over TeX/LaTeX? I already know LaTeX quite well as will most people who are looking for a typesetting system.

It seems, Patoline's syntax resembles LaTeX syntax a lot, but it lets you embed code more easily. And you can use OCaml or some it's subset instead of TeX's \if, \loop, etc [1], which is probably a good thing.
\begin{genumerate}(AlphaLower, fun s -> [tT (s^". ")])
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{genumerate}
Which produces: a. First item
b. Second item
