You can turn any 1 based array into a 0 based array using a wrapper type that just gets inlined away. Also have a look at https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsA

  Mose Giordano hit the nail on the head with this one. Who cares about 1 vs 0 based indices? If anything its a silly and minor design decision. I worry about someones ability to solve real problems in any language if they can't get their head around an +1/-1 when indexing into an array.
