How can i make Julia array index to start from zero 0 and not from one 1?

[roflmaostc]

This question always opens up an endless topic which has been discussed many times.

So it’s better not to further dig-in again

What's the big deal? 0 vs 1 based indexing

As an engineer coming from a non CS / EE background, I have no strong preference or use for 0 based indexing. In fact, 1 based indexing seems incredibly intuitive to me when I use Julia to work with data and manipulate arrays with loops, etc. for me, this aspect of Julia is a big plus. I find lots of hate though on the web for Julia on this point. Why? Is it just a question of familiarity / code comparability, or are their underlying reasons I am missing?

Personally I am not a big user of Offset-Arrays since it’s not consistently working across the entire Julia ecosystem, so take it with caution, as mentioned above.
