What Hacker News says
4 sourcesYou can turn any 1 based array into a 0 based array using a wrapper type that just gets inlined away.
Also have a look at https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl
In PyTorch: Where we are headed and why it looks a lot like Julia (but not exactly)This is a total non issue as indexing is an operation that is subject to multiple dispatch. For a humorous example see https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl
In PyTorch: Where we are headed and why it looks a lot like Julia (but not exactly)I don't get that 1 based indexing debate in regard to LUA and Julia. Both came up recently on hackernews.
In LUA you can use the metatable functionality to implement 0 based indexes.
In Julia you can overload the array access operation too. There a packages which allow zero based indexing. Or even StarWars based indexing including the machete viewing order. https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl
Julia's array interface has has functionality what the first/last index is, so you can use it in other peoples code. If they haer coded 1 as first index just make a pull request to fix it.
