Default Is it a bad habit that setting the table index start from 0

I just realized that in the table.remove(tablename, index) function, the parameter "index" can't be 0, or you will get a warn messsage.

So I can't remove the table[0] via table.remove function

It is for natural number indexes in the table which behaves as a massive.
If you want to simply remove table entry, use your_table[0]= nil

Well, you find the answer to your own questions ^^ Yes, using index 0 in lua table is bad practice cause every table native functions and iterators expect them to start at index 1.
