What software do you know that uses mythological names for its release (version) codenames?

    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.

    Closest I can get is my server is hosted with a company called Mythic Beasts, who use mythological beast names for their hardware.

    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.

    I prefer version numbers. If you want to give it a nickname too, that’s fine, but having to remember what order mythical names were released in just to track versions is super annoying.

    Lansweeper uses Belgian beers. Not quite mythological but I think that’s pretty funny.

    Yeah I think everything that I’m aware of uses version numbers, not that the numbers always necessarily make much sense either
