They’re being tactful. It’s clearly a reference to Waiting for Godot. They even said so.
The name “Godot” was chosen in reference to Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, as it represents the never-ending wish of adding new features in the engine, which would get it closer to an exhaustive product, but never will.
I had no idea there are people who pronounce Godot as “go-dot.” I will never be able to unhear this.
I’ve always said “god-oh” with a silent ‘t’ like in “Brigitte Bardot”.
It is definitely a silent
t
. They’ve just misread it.I agree, it’s really annoying.
IIRC…Creators say it doesn’t matter, either pronunciation is fine.
