It looks like it's still 1-based currently, is that right? 1-based arrays have been the biggest obstacle to me using Lua.

I did years of assembly, then C, and now Lua. I've yet to find the 1-based indexing to be an issue, and that's even having written a few C modules to manipulate Lua arrays. What is it about the 1-based arrays that is so off-putting?

Again the point is easy code reuse.

Yes you are right it's still 1 based to allow easy conversion from actual existing Lua projects.
