arrays being 1 indexed actually makes sense, 0 index is just a holdover from shit like C where arrays are just pointers in disguse

Hey, that's my name! :3

But they still are.

most languages dont decay arrays into pointers anymore, no
Carson Jones
If you work with math 1-index is fantastic to translate formulas with summation directly into code

What do they do instead?

depends if the language/framework/library was developed with FP in mind
R/Julia yes (also they are both 1 indexed)
Python+Pandas """decays into a pointer""" since the dataframe is often edited in place
