    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

      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.
