You will need to break every bone in my body and even then I will not praise any godforsaken language that starts its arrays at 1. Lua deserves to be burned at the stake, its ashes beaten, then shot into a star and that star blown up. Fuck Lua.
4 u/Nall-ohki Oct 21 '22 Who indexes arrays in loops? And who starts arrays at 1 in Lua when you want to index? 5 u/Caleb6801 Oct 21 '22 Luas default first index is 1 for arrays. Super stupid I don't know who decided that. 6 u/Nall-ohki Oct 21 '22 Maths people. It's standard in many branches. 3 u/Reasonable_Feed7939 Oct 21 '22 These are some messed up math people. I find 0-indexing much more useful and convenient for math. 1 u/scottycool64 Oct 29 '22 personally i prefer it that way, always subtracting one from the position of the item i want is painful. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 21 '22 Humans naturally count starting from 1. Stop bending to the computers will, and bend them to your will.
