We're in d modern age. Computers languages shud b mor human like rather than humans bcmg more computer like.
Afterall,they were made for man and not man for d computer.
1 in human languages stands for first among other things.
E.g.
Numero uno. "s/he came first"
. It's never "i came zeroth".
First,second and third price. Not
zeroth,first and second price like is d case wen wrkg with arrays in c-like languages.
Typical textbook explanation :"The first element in an array is at index zero" - 1 == 0! . How wont noobs b confused?. It doesnt make sense,logically speakg,
so modern languages shud drop it.

There's also nothing inherently smart about calling one zero.
It's more intuitve to get d last element usg the size of d collection/array .
E.g,
lastElemnt = array[array.lenght]
thn
lastElemnt = array[array.lenght-1]

Log 10 (base 10) = 1.
Pi aint feasible.

great post. I have an idea. what if we build our own language? all we need is c and time and a little cash?

if your answer is no then its clear why these things are like that. NO ONE HAS BOTHERED TO CHANGE IT

building another language?
Dyu know what u talkg about?
You need a lotta cash and time
and brains!! Not toy stuff.
Mayb u shud create some libraries
and see how it goes.

One or two languages are buckg d trends . Julia (released in 2011/12 ) is d most recent.
But there's gotta b sufficient innovation to justify d mad azz wrk involved in language creation.
