For math it is, at least.
And because it's not as retardedly dynamic as Python, so it's amenable to compilation. The JIT compilation thing is a bit annoying, but also amazing. I hope it will improve in the future. It has generic functions in the Common Lisp fashion (dispatch on every parameter, not just the first), but with a gradual, parametric type system. The kind of things you can do with it are pretty crazy but phenomenal for efficient math. For example, it has apparently the best differential equation solver package available in any language, already.

However good Julia is otherwise, 1-based indices is like finding out that the woman you like has a penis.

There, it's already more convenient.

>when you stop and think about it there is no sane reason to start indexing from zero other than it allows you to use the size of the container as the finish value in a loop without having to add 1 to it or use an equal sign instead of less-than sign Not always true. #include

I don't use Python at work at all. I use it for personal projects. And it feels good to make a fuckton of progress every day. But you keep being butthurt for... whatever reason.
Xavier Johnson
The fact there's no agreement about what's best means it depends on the application. Math is almost always 1-based, but sometimes not. The best probably would be user definable indexes, as in Ada, and there's some experimental support for it, not too polished yet.
