The name of the C32 spreadsheet mentioned in the article is an acronym:

"C32 has been implemented as part of the Garnet system. It is an acronym, and stands for CMU’s Clever and Compelling Contribution to Computer Science in CommonLisp which is Customizable and Characterized by a Complete Coverage of Code and Contains a Cornucopia of Creative Constructs, because it Can Create Complex, Correct Constraints that are Constructed Clearly and Concretely, and are Communicated using Columns of Cells that are Constantly Calculated so they Change Continuously and Cancel Confusion."
