Fully agree with you, @edithatogo! Perhaps The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming—a fully refereed, open access, and free electronic journal that welcomes papers “on the art of programming”, including “programming styles, pearls, models, and languages”—might also be an interesting venue for a credible reference.

There’s lots of options. Apologies, I don’t know who developed it, but the citations would be quite significant and it’s a useful “marketing” mechanism.

I submitted some drafts at some point, but the topic was rejected because the topic was not notable enough, meaning the number of secondary sources was not high enough.

See Notability

You can still find the Draft here, but it might be deleted at some point (can be recovered) if no edits are made.

Some good sources if that helps (they are already in the draft):

I agree with @antstei, publishing to JOSS might help, but I think Typst just needs to mature and release a major version :smiley:. Interest might be high in our (niche) community, but in the public space, it’s relatively small. Unless high-profile journals start accepting Typst sources and that spreads, the topic is “not notable enough”.

This article is rather old (2023) and behind a paywall so I cannot access it entirely, and it’s in German, but at least it’s the “real” press (whatever that means) and I did not find it above, so here it is: Golem.de: IT-News für Profis.

Great, thank you. That article is in fact available in full on https://archive.fo/ (I’m not sure if I should direct link, that archive site is often flagged as spam?).

It’s like just a short notice level article, quite brief, if we look at just the Typst part.

Given that the article got rejected again based on lacking notability, I thought you might want to add the GitHub blog post about being the 2nd fastest growing major language on the platform in the history section.

Oh…well, I guess it wasn’t much of a surprise for the regulars on the forum. (For some reason notifications were set to “Tracking” instead of “Watching” and I missed a whole bunch of things here.)

Anyway, here is the announcement of the paper with all the relevant links: A paper about Typst, written in Typst, and with an official Typst-based template in the IJIMAI journal.
