musician9426yRisky question of the day: why shouldn't it? I do know assembly and C and know how its represented under the hood but I'd prefer not having to do the whole lenght-1 thing. I think it would be more programmer friendly if it was abstracted away.

davide24926yJulia too. I just discussed about it yesterday. But on average... those who use these data science-oriented programming languages are not computer scientists, but scientists or mathematicians. It is easier for them to understand that the first element of an array a is actually the number 1. Do you remember the first day of programming when they told you that the first element of an array was 0? It was strange... now you've a habit, but if you think in an other perspective, it makes sense that element 0 of an array is the number 1
