Ugh. I cannot stand names based on ancient things or myths. They remind me of the early days of programming when systems were named Neptune, Iapetos, or Cronus in order to make themselves sound bigger or larger than life.

Rome is the current capital of Italy... not a mythical or ancient thing.

However, it is a little bit weird to name a programming tool after a country's capital city. Are we gonna get the London linter next? Or the Washington DC web framework?

Roma is the current capital of Italy. Rome was an ancient city.

The city was Roma in Italian and Latin. In English it is Rome in both the ancient and modern sense - if such a distinction makes sense.

And what’s wrong with the early days? Great things were accomplished back then.

I like the name. It evokes "all roads lead to Rome"

Although "Borg" might be more accurate.

I thought it was a reference to "Rome wasn't built in one day". As in, the creators know that this is one hell of an ambitious project.

"All roads lead to Rome" is the reference
