StarWarsArrays.jl VS Coconut

I raise you https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl

Why not Star Wars Indices (4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9...)? https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl

> The documentation disagrees about string indices not starting with 1 As priorly said, I'm speaking about strings, not `String` in particular. So, to write code which work for all AbstractString (which have basic string functions), you must not assume that the first indexing is 1, you can have degenerate cases such as : https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl (this is for vectors, but creating a similar type, for AbstractString isn't impossible) or just strings with an offset indexing.

There are other choices like https://github.com/simonster/TwoBasedIndexing.jl and https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl if you do not like 1-based indexing.

This is a total non issue as indexing is an operation that is subject to multiple dispatch. For a humorous example see https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl

The cool thing with Julia is that array indices aren't inherent properties, and may be changed locally by using appropriate wrappers. This means that the same underlying array may start at 0 in one part of the code, at 1 in another, and perhaps use the star-wars indexing in yet another section if that's necessary.

Adding https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl to the list for some extra spice

> to be part of the Python ecosystem

I'd rather use Python if I'm in the Python ecosystem. So many attempts were made in the past to make a new language compatible with the Python ecosystem (look up hylang and coconu -- https://github.com/evhub/coconut). But at the end of the day, I'd come back to Python because if there's one thing I've learnt in recent years it's this:

    minimize dependencies at all costs.

Have you had a look at Coconut? I don't know if it'll push all your buttons but whenever I hear someone who's reasonably content with Python but wants more FP goodies I always think of it. https://github.com/evhub/coconut . It's basically a superset of Python3 that transpiles into Python3 and is compatible with MyPy. I don't think I'd code Python w/o it ever again assuming I had the choice. The biggest negative for me is that there's no IDE support for the language last I looked, though of course you can work with the transpiler output (plain Python) in your favorite Python IDE. It might be fun to play around with, I know that I really enjoyed it but then I got spoiled by the language+tooling of Scala3, but if you don't have that option ...

If you're looking for suggestions I want to put forward zig lang if you like C/C++ and Coconut Lang if you like Python!

F# and also the fun, compile-to-Python, functional language called Coconut.
