So you created your first esolang. Now what?

Implement it

Usually, an esolang is not going to be interesting if no one can run programs written in it. Note that this does not apply to uncomputable languages. If your esolang is particularly difficult to implement, don't just simplify your esolang to make it simpler to implement. You can either spend a considerable amount of time and effort figuring out how to implement it or you can instead wait for someone else to implement it instead.

Document it on the Esolang Wiki

Write an article about it on the Esolang Wiki so more people can find it and it can be reconstructed in case you ever forget it. However, you should write the draft for the article here first since you will get feedback from other people. Make sure that the article follows the Esolang Wiki's standards.

Write examples

Examples can help users to learn about the language more throughoutly, and can tell something more about the language. Note that there are exceptions to this, like no-code esolangs (esolangs that ignore the code), in which examples would not make sense.
