Shipping isn't a binary and it isn't something you can only do once. If the project is still very rough, "shipping" may just mean emailing it to 20 people you think might be interested. Getting reactions from real people is the key thing, not publicizing it far and wide--in many cases it is smart to wait on that until you've gone through a bunch of iterations with a small number of early users.
For example, you could post a link to your language right here. Not that many people will see it, but some of the ones that do may give you useful feedback and start keeping tabs on the project. There isn't much downside.
