What do you consider "modern"? Is a year old not modern? Am I supposed to be seeing something else?

Ah sorry, my bad. I thought that "mtxrunjit" was removed longer ago, but I only removed it from TeX Live in June 2025. Regardless, you should use the "context" command to compile files with ConTeXt. Example:

  $ cat <<EOF > hello-world.tex
  \starttext
      Hello, world!
  \stoptext
  EOF
  
  $ context hello-world.tex
  [...]
  system          > ConTeXt  ver: 2026.02.19 11:49 LMTX  fmt: 2026.3.7  int: english/english
  [...]
  system          | total runtime: 0.632 seconds of 0.768 seconds
  
  $ pdftotext hello-world.pdf - | tail -1
  Hello, world!
