STL Hackathon Canceled After Social Backlash
It's the Standard Library now. STL is the SGI precursor. People insist on calling it STL for whatever reason, maybe because it's the STandard Library.
Or it could be St. Louis? Or Seattle?

I think you mean Standard Template Library in that context. The C and C++ standard libraries aren't referred to that way (at least not commonly!).

Just as people call them "ATM Machines" it doesn't mean "STL" is the name of the C++ Standard Library.
