What software do you know that uses mythological names for its release (version) codenames?
A company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa’uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.
That’s as close to mythology as I got.
Lansweeper uses Belgian beers. Not quite mythological but I think that’s pretty funny.
Closest I can get is my server is hosted with a company called Mythic Beasts, who use mythological beast names for their hardware.
It would violate my NDA to say anything more than: yes, all of the software I’ve helped develop use the name of mythical creatures during development
Don’t know much mythology. Do Thunderbird and Firefox count?
Edit. Just realized those aren’t version codenames.
I just realized thunder+bird is wordplay for fire+fox. Damn am I slow.
Yeah I think everything that I’m aware of uses version numbers, not that the numbers always necessarily make much sense either
