Thanks! Quite a few things I didn't know in here, and on balance it does seem compelling. Still can't quite understand why they would choose the 1-based indexing, it's just such an unforced error, unless the intention was literally just to fuck with people. I suppose I could get over being fucked with, though. > Both Lua runtimes fit in a typical L1 cache That is pretty sweet!

Lua is descended from a data description language used by the Brazilian state oil monopoly, Petrobras. Civilians, and data scientists, tend to count from one. Julia uses 1-based indexing for the same reason. But yeah, it was a mistake. No good way to fix it, alas.
