Well, one particular thing we'd see if there were a meaningful example on the home page is that Skip doesn't use a keyword to declare new symbols, opting instead declaration being conflated with first-assignment.

Misspelled variable assignments will silently succeed, rather than error because the symbol doesn't exist. I think that's a massive mistake and it speaks to a relative lack of large project development on behalf of the Skip designers.
So, I guess, in a backwards way, it's better for them to hide their syntax away from the home page, because I wouldn't have spent as much time on the site if I had seen that right away. "Time on site" metric improved, but to no meaningful result.
Also, in the year 2022, the site does not have a TLS certificate.
