'Inferno' sounds pretty aggressive for something in the corporate market.


Inferno as in Dante’s Inferno.

The VM is called dis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dis_(Divine_Comedy))

The language is Limbo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo

The protocol is Styx - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx

The Divine Comedy all over the place.


And I guess that the name of the company, Vita Nuova, comes from Dante's "La Vita Nuova"
