Reverse psychology? "Please don't look at my language!"
A quick googling finds this: https://harelang.org/
My first impression is that it's somewhere in the trade space around Go and Zig.

Anyway, I definitely have plenty of thoughts about this language but I don't think anyone working on it would care, so I'll refrain.
If a quick search leads anyone to find it, why not leave it at that? The ones who are interested will find it. All you did was to be be contrarian for no good reason.
And to answer parent's question with my own impression: the post serves to tell people like me (that tangentially knew the language is in development) that work is being done, and if any of us has more than a cursory interest, they can get in touch to help. It also serves to tell people that are not immediately interested in helping that spreading the word about the project is not encouraged. I can't think of why there needs to be more of a "point" than this.
Seems to have been effective here on HN. It worked on me.
Writing a big post about your secret language to a tech crowd seems like a really bad idea. People like puzzles.
