I have no idea what Monkey Language is and after reading first few paragraphs it looks like the author does not plan to explain it either. So unless you know what Moneky Language is, do not bother to open.

Considering this is explicitly part 8 of a series, I would recommend starting with part 1, where this is explained.

It's a toy language created for, and used by, the book "Writing An Interpreter In Go"¹ (presumably, also by the subsequent book, "Writing A Compiler In Go")

It's a good book, very easy to follow, so I think it had a large following of people writing their own dialects, in many languages.
