On: C Template Library

[sgerenser]

I mostly agree with this comment except “dequeue” is a bad example. C++ has called this data structure “deque” (pronounced deck) since the beginning of the STL. Is there another language/library that spells it dequeue?

For better or worse, Rust calls it a VecDeque, but I think this is meant to clarify that the structure is just Vec storage with some extra methods on top to provide convenient ring buffer usage patterns:

Yes.

.NET uses Dequeue as a verb, not a noun though.

Perhaps that's another reason to call the data structure a "Deque" since "Dequeue" is already used for the verb meaning "to remove an item from a queue."

It's also for a completely different purpose, but I was answering about the spelling as a direct answer to a question.
