  • Clamiga should be treated immediately with a large dose of Clatari S.T.
    by tezza
  • I suspect some Clankertosh LLM came up with the name Clamiga.

  • Ah yes, chlamydia.

  • Clamiga reads a lot like chlamydia in other languages

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Super excited to see native MorphOS support. That is awesome. Might drag the ol' G5 out and have a time.

  • Other "nice" names for this product: AmiColi AmiLisp

  • I suggest author renames to AmigaCL.

  • Clamidia perhaps

  • How does Clamiga compare with the most recent CLISP which did support AmigaOS?

    CLISP's maintenance status is mentioned, but I can't help wondering in which way that would be relevant.

  • From reading the linked page, they both compile to bytecode not native instructions.

    There are open source Common Lisp systems for the OG Macintosh that compile to native instructions that could probably be ported to AmigaOS.

    Cambridge Lisp contained a native code compiler and was available on AmigaOS.

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

  • The article doesn't list where you can get it from, but you can get it from here:

  • Why did they put it under "dev/basic"?
    by binaryturtle
  • How to get clamiga from? Sounds like a medical question.
