Yeah, I agree with your comments about error handling. It’s far from ideal in non-interactive contexts. It’s especially disappointing since you could easily imagine something like Julia replicating Python’s success at transitioning code from interaction (e.g. Jupyter notebook) to production.
I initially defended the choice, but I now agree that 1-based indexing now seems like a poor choice since Julia has become something more than the original mission of a better MATLAB or Octave. It’s a, admittedly, minor tragedy of Julia’s success.
