The why in this case is "a little toy language ... to learn .. how dynamically-typed interpreted languages worked"

The linked page on github https://thrax.elijahpotter.dev/ has some snippets that you can click on. The first one called tour.th has a very brief overview of the language.

That page doesn't work on mobile, the code is covered up by the menu.

Yeah, specifically http://learnxinyminutes.com/ style.
