Mathematically,
for (int index = 1; index <= array.Length; index++) would be the right way to say it and count it.
It's been drilled into programmer's heads that 0 is better than 1 that it has become a religious offense to state otherwise.

A really obvious way would be something like:
for i in (1, array.Length]

To be fair, you could write
for (int index = 1; index <= array.Length; index++)
(but I prefer 0-based arrays too)

...because it represents a higher abstraction semantic (first item) rather than an implementation technicality (address offset).
This is what I spect from a programming language not close to the machine.
(by the way, I'm a C# developer which never uses unsafe pointers and things like that).
Wake up! The Singularity is coming.

Absolutely agreed.
It should be start with 1.

0 or 1 are BOTH implementation technicalities . Convention in this respect is more important .
