Hmm... I disagree. Counting and indexing are two different things.
Indexes start at zero. Counting starts at one.
This is often described as the classic fencepost problem.

In SOME languages, indexing starts at 0. C was the first popular

start at 1 (unless that's also changed in the last 20 years! :) ).
