Each version of gRPC gets a new description of what the ‘g’ stands for, since we've never really been able to figure it out.

Below is a list of already-used definitions (that should not be repeated in the future), and the corresponding version numbers that used them:

  • 1.0 ‘g’ stands for ‘gRPC’
  • 1.1 ‘g’ stands for ‘good’
  • 1.2 ‘g’ stands for ‘green’
  • 1.3 ‘g’ stands for ‘gentle’
  • 1.4 ‘g’ stands for ‘gregarious’
  • 1.6 ‘g’ stands for ‘garcia’
  • 1.7 ‘g’ stands for ‘gambit’
  • 1.8 ‘g’ stands for ‘generous’
  • 1.9 ‘g’ stands for ‘glossy’
