I will add Claudish robolect into my language immediately, thank you.

Hear ye, who speaks of the Pompatus of Claude…

Claudish is a perfectly cromulent word.

Seriously though, it'd be nice if we started using a more shared and less vendor-specific jargon to refer to what these latest features are. We're getting into JVM vs. .NET Execution Engine distinctions and they just muddy the water on what goes on in the market.

Clodish.

It's particularly load-bearing to a non-native English speaker such as me.

It looks a lot like English, but it doesn't have the same rhythm human English has. It's as if a human tried and failed to be concise.

As a native English speaker, I get the same feeling whenever I read press releases and other announcements from executives.

It's vague puffery that implies depth without nessesarily achieving it. It's a very effective bullshitting technique with most people, which is why we collectively were so impressed with it we sculpted a robot that does it.
