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.

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.
