Seems like Jonathan Blow, the creator of Jai, releases a game every decade or so. I wonder if the plan is to release his next game in a couple of years. Presumably it is written in this new language? Maybe the compiler will be released at the same time under the guise of “hey this is so production ready we have already shipped a game with it.”

He’s currently developing a Sokoban game in Jai and often streams on Twitch.
I believe he intends to ship the game for free with the language, as a demonstration of how to write games using jai.
That's exactly the idea. They even plan to release the source for the engine for the game as the 'example' project along with the language.
