The Hamster story.. :) Unfortunately it's not at all so personal as yours. I wanted a furry, little (Hamster the project is a one-file) and cute name, with a suitable pic to put on a website. I fancy Hamster a lot more than SCons/Lua - the old name.. :). If you still want a story: Hamsters collect all kinds of nuts in their cheeks, then spit them out somewhere (or eat). Remotely like what a build system does, eh=?

I still sorta like Luigi.. :)
But I'm the author of Hamster(tm), Lumikki (snow-white) and so forth..
There should be a story in the project name.

What's the hamster story? Doris was my sister's hamster who died around
the time I started writing Doris. I decided to name my effort after the
little furry one because I couldn't be bothered thinking of some clever
acronym.

I quite ACGB. I imagine you'd pronounce it something like ack-goob. Hey,

it'd be easy to Google...
