Actually in not all languages do arrays start at 0. In ColdFusion for example arrays start at 1. I've never been able to receive a reason as to why CF's original author, J.J. Allaire, did it that way.
Came here to say this about CF.
I work in Coldfusion but coming from a background of other languages I would always reference 0 as the start of an array. This was the source of countless errors for me until I got use to it.
My manager thinks it was done to make the language easier to understand for people just getting into programming.
