Julia is nothing like Python though, and it has other flaws like 1-based indexing and huge delays loading packages as it compiles them.

How is it nothing like Python?
1-based indexing is definitely not a flaw. And version 1.6 massively decreased package import and precompilation time.

It really is. We've known it for literally decades:

It really depends on what you do - sometimes offsets are better, sometimes an index is better. If you really want 0-based indexing, you can have it! https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl
My own preference is random indexing, it's so much more exciting to be surprised https://www.juliabloggers.com/random-based-indexing-for-arra...
