The article doesn't list where you can get it from, but you can get it from here:
https://aminet.net/package/dev/basic/clamiga
Why did they put it under "dev/basic"?
I like how the heap limits on this Amiga lisp are still more than what the personal version of lispworks offers.
Other "nice" names for this product: AmiColi AmiLisp
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.
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.
After a Clamiga coding session I like to kick back with a Clamato Cocktail.
Clamiga should be treated immediately with a large dose of Clatari S.T.
I suspect some Clankertosh LLM came up with the name Clamiga.
