        Wow, they found something even more confusing than 1-indexing (conditional 1-indexing)

        option base 42

        Sadly, per the syntax docs on O’Reilly it doesn’t look like it can be anything but 0 or 1. That’s not to say it’s a good feature, but at least make it fun if it’s gonna be bad.

      That’s such a perfect summary of VBScript. Starting array indexes at 1 was it’s vibe.

      VBScript would show up for it’s first day as a construction worker in a white shirt and a tie. I loved VBScripts willingness to do messy work, but boy was it unprepared in many contexts.
