Actually, it is quite easy to implement 0 based indices or any other indexing scheme in julia, since all the array indexing code is implemented in julia itself.
I personally would find multiple indexing schemes confusing both for usage as well as to develop and maintain. Given that 1 based indexing seems to be a popular choice among many similar languages, we just went ahead with that.
