Maybe I'm not reading correctly, but it seems the project is about making a language compiler and not a language itself?

From the site:

> You can build an interpreter or a compiler, so long as it can run or build examples of code in the programming language you create.

No you create a language, but it needs to be able to run. So need to either build a compiler or interpreter to make the language do things.
