Clamiga should be treated immediately with a large dose of Clatari S.T.

I suspect some Clankertosh LLM came up with the name Clamiga.

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.

I like how the heap limits on this Amiga lisp are still more than what the personal version of lispworks offers.

Why did they put it under "dev/basic"?
