I have to admit that this was one reason why it took me so long to start a project with Lua. Now that I've had some exposure to the language, I can say that it's not as bad as it seems, but it's also not "nothing". I frequently have to think about indices to avoid making mistakes in Lua, while in zero-based language indexing is pretty much muscle memory.
