@Takiro @nixCraft only if they are ordered, which they mostly aren’t. I’d be more inclined to call them a hash

@Takiro @nixCraft it's actually a list, you just store it in an array

@nixCraft think a group of developers being called a stack would fit. Then when theres too many itd be a stack overflow

I would go with the same as a group of witches. An argument.

@jiinissi A coven is a group of witches. I've never heard of an argument of witches.

"You needed at least three witches for a coven. Two witches was just an argument."

@rob that's the first google result. 😅

I'm sure there's a longer quote buried in one of the books I read lately. Probably Equal Rites. Along the lines of "people think the collective noun for a group of witches is a coven when it's actually an argument".
