I doubt it will happen. Zerothly, zero-based isn't as good as 1-based indexing for mathematics and science. And firstly, nobody want to change it.

>nobody want to change it.
Love the claim here, followed by a link that reveals an ongoing controversy. True, the core developers don't want to change it, so it's not going to change. They chose to ignore the protests of many would-be users of the language.
I thought that Julia was aiming for Python's niche, i.e. good at numerical stuff, but also decent at inter-operating with other languages.
Argh. We were so close to leaving 1-based indexing behind as a historical relic. But now it seems we'll be stuck with it for a while longer. I'm not saying we can do anything about it now. I just want someone to validate my frustration :-)
