Your downvotes here trouble me --- because I strongly suspect the suspects simply haven't read their Beckett =)

  If 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.

    Waiting for Godot is hardly obscure.

    I 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.

  This is a humorless place. I'm a masochist. ;-)
