Etymology

The specific name, brazili, is in honor of Brazilian herpetologist Vital Brazil.[2]

gollark: No, there are others.
gollark: Yay OLEDs!
gollark: <@392702691459072010> It might help. Running it on a different computer means more CPU can be dedicated to the server. But a random old AMD CPU will have awful single core perf.
gollark: It's entirely possible that you came up with an idea *so insane* that nobody else made a library for it!
gollark: <@111569489971159040> Maybe just have it use some sort of CLI partitioning tool as a backend?
