It’s unfortunate that Lua makes some strange decisions, but the powerful functionality totally outweighs the weirdness (metatables are especially cool). I really like Lua, especially for game programming with LÖVE.

In that context, position-based indexing makes much more sense, as it's how most non-programmers think.
