For sure, I switch between python, C/C++ an julia a lot and well, lets say bounds errors are pretty common for me.

The "idiomatic" way to access the first element in an array/sequence in julia is to use the `first` function, e.g. `first(arr)` vs. `arr[1]`. This works across a larger number of array types, including OffsetArrays with 0-based index offsets.

My advice would be to use begin and end. Then you don't have to think about the indexing.
