oddly appropriate that the linked webpage for the language [<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;esolangs.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Time_Out" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;esolangs.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Time_Out</a>] fails with ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Interesting.<p>It don&#x27;t know that the &quot;time&quot; idea is really necessary. Each number is really an offset from the index of the current command to the index of the next, in a cyclic list of 200 commands. You can delay by that much if you want. Or just figure out the index of the next command, and then execute that command immediately.<p>The commands themselves are basically a minimalist Forth.
