Not to mention the human tendencies to align with certain ideals. For example, does it use 1-based indexing like Lua and Julia? If so i just can't bring myself to use it.

I'm not extremely familiarized with Julia, but it seems to me that it would let you switch to 0-based indexing as an option.
The notions first index, current index, previous index, next index and last index and each index are all invariant under shifts of the index set... yet this is the hill people choose to die on.
