I got a little nostalgic when we passed the 200 mark and decided to add Changeling as the 201st language, which is a variant of ShapeScript (the very first TIO language and basically the reason I came up with the idea in the first place).
And tomorrow (today, really) is my wife's birthday, so the "this weekend" estimation may have been a little optimistic.
The frontend is now passing a version token to the backend to make sure they're compatible and don't result in such cryptic errors as the last time I updated front- and backend. Without either that or /api/, you'd just get a message that you should refresh your tab.

ShapeScript
ShapeScript is a naturally occurring programming language. Shape shifters (or Changelings, as they prefer to be called) can transform into a set of instructions that allows them to process data.
ShapeScript is a stack-based language with a relatively simple syntax...
Just pushed a small update: version token checking and a more flexible run in the backend that can decide which scripts get invoked in the arena. Mostly so I don't have to edit three or four files at once when I want to change something.
Unless either the correct version token or /api/ is present, it now responds with HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict and the following text.
> TIO was updated since the page was loaded. Please refresh for the lastest version.
@muddyfish I personally would be wary of it, because one need to test first before pulling for tio. You don't want to commit yuc accidentally and break whatever is working fine on tio. Thus, update should always be manual conscious action, even if a single button push
@Dennis isn't it nice how people get nervous when there is a slight turbulence ;) We are the consumer. We expect your services supported 24/7 ;) It's good you were not asleep, right? Because otherwise you'd wake up to even less nice picture ;)
@flawr Would it make sense to try and reach out to potential users not in PPCG? I've gotten the impression that until Dennis sets up more Arenas there might not be enough power to handle that.
> The web server of Try It Online v2 and TIO Nexus and the arena (where user code of those services is executed) currently run on two separate servers. TIO is getting more and more traffic, so additional arenas will be required. Also, the web server will eventually need additonal storage for server-side permalinks. With your help, I hope to ensure a smooth operation of all TIO services.
