Waiting for Godot is a book.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 48 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ohhhhh, I thought it was about Godot, the C# game engine

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

That's what it's named after! "The engine you've been waiting for."

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It's a play. And the famous spoiler is that

SpoilerGodot never shows up
.

[–] doctorn@r.nf 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"Where is your Godot now!"

... Sorry, couldn't help myself. 😅😂

[–] voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well, yeah, that is one of the interpretations.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

no. Beckett specifically said "If I meant God I would have written God."

He also wrote in French, where God is "Dieu" and Godot is "Gohdough" so the pun doesn't work

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

He was waiting for good dough.

Heads-up, that spoiler formatting might not work for users not on Sync.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm on jerboa, and the spoiler part works okay for me. But it somehow swallowed the first part of the post.

I haven't looked on the web client.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

I checked and it doesn't work at all on the web.

[–] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, doesn't work on boost.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Which is weird

spoilerbecause boost has a button to add spoilers.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 9 months ago

I don't think that spoiler worked. Maybe because it's all on the same line

[–] TheyCallMeHacked@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, it's a play

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Published in 52 by Les Éditions de Minuit. In a book.

"En attendant Godot"

[–] TheyCallMeHacked@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah sure, I'll admit defeat. Btw, weird flex for an Irishman to write a play in French...
