    oddly appropriate that the linked webpage for the language [http://esolangs.org/wiki/Time_Out] fails with ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

    Interesting.

    It don't know that the "time" 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.

    The commands themselves are basically a minimalist Forth.
