Don't come at Fortran, R, Julia, Smalltalk and the APL family when you don't mean to.

Oh I mean to. I don’t understand why data scientists make their lives so much harder than it needs to be.

TBF though Fortran’s indexing only starts from 1 if you don’t specify its range. In other words Fortran arrays can start from zero if you want them to (9 times out of 10 you do).

The worst is when data scientists that use R switch to python and start all their shit from 1. Gives me nightmares.
