Waiting for Godot is a common occurrence.
- dualogy 9y agoYour downvotes here trouble me --- because I strongly suspect the suspects simply haven't read their Beckett =)
- Confiks 9y agoIf one feels so inclined to make a single-sentence reference to some obscure play, care can be take to make the reference just a little off, so to nudge the reader into questioning the sentence's plain meaning. That being said, I appreciate your reference to [1]. I wonder if this is actually the engine's namesake.

- parenthephobia 9y agoI wonder if this is actually the engine's namesake. According to Wikipedia: > Linietsky stated in a presentation that the name Godot was chosen due to its relation 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.

- StavrosK 9y agoI'm sorry to say that this pun was much more obvious than the Descartes one. The latter was just... inspired.
