  FWIW, ArrayList is a List, backed by Arrays. So List would have been the more Java/Zig way to name it (also Python, etc.)

    > FWIW, ArrayList is a List, backed by Arrays. You probably know that, but just to clarify: it's backed by a single array, reallocated repeatedly, just like std::vector in C++ (although growth factors are different, I think). Just "List" probably risks that some people will jump to the conclusion that it's a linked list. I'd probably prefer the full "ArrayList". Although personally I'd use something like "DynArray"/"DynamicArray".

  These are examples in favor of my point, not against it.
