I would love to have this, but Lua not Python.

I wonder how hard to port this to eLua would be? The bigger problem is probably packing.

Pip can work fine with MicroPython. LuaRocks can be a pain, even on desktop.

Mathematicians don't build GUIs, and nobody else can stand starting their arrays with 1.

Lua also let's you start arrays at 3.

As does Perl with `$[`[0][1]

[0] "This variable stores the index of the first element in an array, and of the first character in a substring."

[1] With the caveat: 'As of Perl v5.30.0, or under "use v5.16", or "no feature "array_base"", $[ no longer has any effect"'

You can start your arrays in Lua at 0. Conventionally you don't, but you can.

Plenty of languages use either 1 as base or flexible array indexes.

And we can make fun of them equally, there's enough mocking to go around.
