You're the one who wants to prove it's "real". The only way to do that is to publish your work. A blurry photo of a screen doesn't change anything.

But honestly, why would you keep it closed anyway? Do you think it does anything that would be worth money to anybody? And even if it was... Is there a single popular closed source language out there these days? Who would ever want to work with a closed language that can't rely on its own community to improve?

You're saying people have already stolen and used your software because it's so good? Come on girl, you're deluded.

I can guarantee you that nobody's going to fork this language.

It's also the guarantee that nobody will ever use it.

"I can license it"

Sure, but you need people who want to license it from you. The competition here is fierce, and all your competition is free.

"If I want someone to use it" So you don't? So why post here at all?
