Writing a language for fun is totally fine, but it is useful to know that fact when the language is being shared. Am I looking at this language to see if it will be useful to solve a problem I have that existing languages don't solve, or is it just an exercise, or is it an improvement?

All of those points are moot without adoption and maturity, something a new language by definition won't have.

No, but there is still a big difference between a new language with a still-small community, but with ambition and some early attempts to apply it at "real" problems, vs a brainfuck-like, just for kicks language.
