Change the name to have a Hamming distance of more than 1 from clisp. Like it's a cool language but I think it's very useable, call it something that can't be as easily confused. It's too sneaky to say Clasp instead of Clisp.

Clask, for instance. Two different letters.



Note that the name of the language is not generally abbreviated this way. But there's another implementation called CLISP.

Clask sounds like a Flask-inspired web framework for Common Lisp to me. [Googled it] Yep, "something like Flask", but in C++, not in Lisp.


Clasp is actually a word, and CLISP is part of GNU now so they should probably rename it something childish and cringe inducing like LURP, which is a recursive acronym for LERP: Universal REPL Programming or something.


IIUC Clasp is made from clang + lisp because it uses clang for the implementation.
