Should I ever design a programming language, I'll aim for the golden middle course and let arrays start at 0.5.

joke/meme

let pointer arithmetic be fun again

    Think of all the funny issues arising from the limited precision of the floating point indices. At least you wouldn't have to round first inside a for loop. In most cases. Probably. I think.

    you are too late for that, JavaScript already has this. Try

    var a = [ ];
    a[0.5] = 1;
    console.log(a[0.5]);

    .5 seems to be an issue, so let's go in the middle and let the programmer choose between 0.25-based arrays and 0.75-based arrays.
