This is like one of those people posting Dijkstra’s letter advocating for 0-based indexing without ever having read or understood what they posted.

What does indexing syntax have to do with Julia having a rough history of correctness bugs and footguns?

    Sure, all software is terrible if looking at bug frequency history...

    Griefers ranting about years old _closed_ tickets on v1.0.5 versions on a blog as some sort of proof of lameness... is a poorly structured argument. Julia includes regression testing features built into even its plotting library output, and thus issues usually stay resolved due to pedantic reproducibility. Also, running sanity-checks in any llvm language code is usually wise.

    Best of luck =3
