Historical observations
The village was situated on the Pacific coast, at the site of the current Tajiguas Beach, 2 miles west of Refugio State Beach. Tajiguas ... probably means 'the basket' ... 42 houses on one side, 37 on the other ... at least 400 souls ... August 1769 ... Six years later ... completely abandoned.[1] The settlement spanned two sides of a creek and was known to be inhabited by 400 or more people until 1769.[1] Six years later, it was found abandoned, and the people are believed to have been forced by war to move slightly to the east to the coastal villages of Qasil and Shishuchi'i'.[1]
gollark: Actually, what if I make a cool extreme optimizer™ which replaces your code with `int main() {return 0;}`?
gollark: Great!

gollark: If you have "pure except for output" (which V functions or not) you cannot safely memoize things.
gollark: I agree. TypeScript is much better.
