I see 1-indexing as an artifact of a lot of linear algebra texts, whereas 0-indexing is more popular in analysis. Julia just wants it to be easier to directly copy formulas from publications. I also think it’s blurry as to whether mathematicians and programmers see indexing numbers as merely indices or richer numbers.
