0-based indexes are the best

2025-8-10 (September 11th, 2025)

TLDR: use 0-based indexes now and in the future (and in the past if you can)

I get so annoyed when indexes aren't 0-based.
Indexes should be 0-based. A 1-based index confuses me (and many other people) because i'm used to 0-based indexes, and so are many people.
That's why i write 11th september 2025 as "2025-8-10"

Here is what a 0 based index looks like:

  1. Blog-ifyer
  2. Pasta
  3. Hot dogs
Here is what a 1 based index looks like:
  1. Blog-ifyer
  2. Pasta
  3. Hot dogs
At least dont use 0.5 based indexes.
