I would be more likely to pick up Julia if comments like gp told me something interesting about the language.



The biggest thing that keeps me from using Julia rather than Python for math prototypes is that it uses one-based indexing. I go back and forth between these prototypes and my C++ codebase, and the mental gymnastics to switch from 0-based to 1-based makes Julia a non-starter for me. I prefer Julia over Python other than that one issue, and the lower availability of tutorials, etc. for Julia.


Index all your arrays with from_offset(n)

def from_offset(n: int): return n+1

Well-typed (or sightly-better-typed) programming ftw.
