I think [I’m mildly aware of the dispute](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-can-i-make-julia-array-index-to-start-from-zero-0-and-not-from-one-1/129268/18), it’s more that I find it annoying every time someone rehashes the debate, I even [create stupid packages](https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl/) [with non-sense indexing](https://github.com/giordano/RandomBasedArrays.jl) to make fun of it.
