In the language Gulf of Mexico,

you can use any letters from the word "function" (as long as they're in order)

HUH?

Some languages start arrays at 0, which can be unintuitive for beginners. Some languages start arrays at 1, which isn't representative of how the code actually works. Gulf of Mexico does the best of both worlds: Arrays start at -1.

Oh, I see they're serious! Time to ditch JavaScript.
