I don't understand why Julia didn't do like Fortran and Ada and allow any starting index. E.g., a(-5:5, 0:3).

In case you didn’t know, Julia does in fact have arbitrary indexing!

I mean, Julia is flexible enough that it's pretty easy to implement arrays with different indexing schemes that have the same performance as built-in arrays: https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl
