(But also, my conspiratorially-inclined mind is quite entertained by the thought of some sort of parallel construction or tip from a TLA.)

Yes, of course distances are measured starting from 0. But we count discrete things starting at 1. You can do mental gymnastics to enumerate from zero and many programmers are (unfortunately IMO) taught to do so. It's a hard thing to learn that way, so for the folks that have done so, it often becomes a point of pride and a shibboleth.

As a classic example, a four story building has four floors. But you only need to go up three flights to get to the top. You can legitimately call the top floor either 3 or 4, and folks are similarly tribal about their own cultural norms around this one, too.

You don't need to note the commercial licensing option in the license itself; it's irrelevant to that grant. You just state that elsewhere.

Goodness, that doesn't look like a choice to me.

All I can say is that many of "us" live in that tension between high level and low level every day. It's actually going to become more pronounced with `--trim` and the efforts on static compilation in the near term. The fact that Julia can span both is why I'm a part of it.
