        Writing Lua code that also interacts with C code that uses 0 indexing is an awful experience. Annoys me to this day even though haven’t used it for 2 years

        This is one of the few things that I really don’t like any Lua. It’s otherwise pretty decent and useful.

      Visual Basic used to let you choose if you wanted to start arrays at 0 or 1. It was an app-wide setting, so that was fun.

          It’s how I got into programming, so I’ll always have a soft spot for it. Now it’s over 20 years later and I’m still coding.

            Apple Basic (on an Apple IIe) was my first language that I recall.

            Didn’t have a computer powerful enough for VB until later. It does have a special place in my nostalgia zone but has also led so many astray.
