A lot of mathematical languages start from 1: R, Julia, Mathematica (and also Lua and Fish).

I don't know why, but in, e.g. R, it doesn't bother me, I get caught by it in Lua all the time.

I suppose it's a function of how far the array is abstracted from being pointers to an address that makes it easier to mentally switch.
