When initializing a new Date object in JavaScript using the below call, I found out that the month argument counts starting from zero.
new Date(2010, 3, 1); // that's the 1st April 2010!
Why does the month argument start from 0? On the other hand, the day of the month argument (last one) is a number from 1 to 31. Are there good reasons for this?
It’s an old (probably unfortunate, probably dying) tradition in the programming world, see the old standard (POSIX) localtime C function http://linux.die.net/man/3/localtime
