#TIL that #Javascript uses 0 indexes for defining months.

@Maltimore For real. For the months. But not for the days.

Yeah, Java does the same. Really confusing.

@cobra2
Might be normal, but since we frequently use the ints associated to each month IRL, for a computer language to not offset it is confusing.

I probably just have weird number association. January does taste like cherries after all.

@klaatu @judeswae Apart from half its name, JavaScript also copied some interfaces from Java. The Date class is the worst.

@notclacke @klaatu This is also why a jslib like momentjs is such a pleasure to use.
