"strange" in the sense of different from other languages in 2020, yes, but not strange from the perspective of its developers.

Lua is a language for both hardcore C programmers and complete n00bs wanting to configure their C programs. In that context, position-based indexing makes much more sense, as it's how most non-programmers think.

I find it strange that you choose to use terminology that does not uniquely identify what you are talking about when the rest of the thread uses terminology that does uniquely identify what they are talking about
