Right, my startup work on compliance tech for the construction industry. Pretty gritty work trying to simplify and automate regulations that are constantly changing. Can't imagine anyone doing this open source.

If you ask most people to just label their apples, they'd call the first one "1", and so on. Very few people would say, "please pass me apple #0".

I believe there's a powerful status quo bias. Doing the reversal test, if programming languages had all been 1-indexed, then I doubt we'd hear much from people, in 2022, saying "I think the first element should be 0, and the

I'll just be happy if they keep their Creative Commons licensing.

Strangely, the draft just shows up as an empty page for me in Firefox, but Chromium works fine.
