Lua.

Lua

Lua "arrays"* begin at 1

* Lua doesn't really have "arrays", but sequences are functionally the same thing, and those start at 1

In java you can do something like this:

var shoppingList = new ArrayList<String>();
shoppingList.add("Milk");
System.out.println(shoppingList.get(0));

That would print milk as far as I know. And if you pseudocode this up to other languages it will (for most) also work the same. It only depends if the implementation starts at 0 or 1.

Pascal's did as I recall, but it's been over 40 years now.
