If 1-indexing seems strange, you're probably not doing mathematical or statistical computing, so it's probably not the language for you.

  I've done math and stats all my life. When I do sigmas in math, they go: i=0,i<n and very rarely i=1, i<=n unless the problem really is made simpler by the weird 1-based indices.

    that's very bourbakian, but pretty much everyone else does 1..n, except for taylor series.

        no need to be ashamed of it!
