Comment on Clamiga: Common Lisp for the Amiga

Comments

Clamiga reads a lot like chlamydia in other languages

An unfortunate branding. I read "Clamigia," so...similar.

I knew a watch company that called a high-end watch "Diptera," and they sent out a memo, explaining the name (because "diphtheria").

Also, "Diptera" is a genus containing houseflies. I don't think it was a good branding move.

After a Clamiga coding session I like to kick back with a Clamato Cocktail.

I mean, I’m British and I immediately thought of chlamydia. But, considering it, we are absolutely world renowned for our filthy and degenerate sense of humour, so it’s probably just that.

Still, Common Lisp on an Amiga: interesting.
