For personal work, consider starting with "Show HN" in the title. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Show HN has its own rules and so forth but they are about posting work under the Show HN rubric. They aren't a requirement, though, you don't have to post personal work as a Show HN.

FWIW, I think I would be particularly confused by a "Show HN" on a project that the author explicitly didn't intend for me to actually use?

My guess is the author shared it for the learning opportunity.
I get asked this question a lot. My goal for this project is not to convince you to use it. This new language does _nothing_ that you couldn't find in other languages today. This project won't take over the world, and many people ask me what the point of it is. It's purely a project stemmed from curiosity with absolutely no capitalistic motives. I did it based on my years of self-directed research studying many incredible programming languages, and this is what I have to show for my research.
My motivation for this was to learn how to build a programming language with a grammar, virtual machine, and garbage collector. It's a hobby project, not intended to be used for business.
