Unrelated question: is it pronounced go-DOT as in polkadot, or go-DOH, like the actress Gal Gadot?

Theres no official pronounciation

The most common ones are guh-dough & go-dough (+ other variations) with the t silent, but the lead developer as well as a bunch of others call it go-dot and some people put the d in the first syllable instead to do things like god-oo

Q&A with devs talking about it

Go-doh, like the coffee lover from ace attorney.

I think it's pronounced "God OO"

Like the play. Although I have no idea why it would be named after the play.

Also the logo doesn't really have anything to do with anything. The whole thing is weird.

As an ever evolving piece of software, you are always Waiting for Godot.
