That makes sense for the ID system or a database, but for arrays in a language I still prefer starting at 0. It makes frame buffers easier easier to index

- nivertech 2y agoI prefer thinking from the first principles, and not according to the current computer architecture fashion. And BTW that ID system was used in the system processing PBs of data in realtime per day back in the early 2000s, so it’s not that it was super-inefficient.
