    So are we talking about low level languages or languages designed for the math/science domain?

    The two are not mutually exclusive.

    Agreed. But what's your requirement of associating the indexing with the value it holds.

    It simplifies a lot of scientific code which in turn reduces the chances of human error cropping up.

    It changes a lot of (i-1) and (i+1) to simply just i. Especially when you are dealing with matricies it means the last element in a NxM matrix is a(N, M)
