Nice try. You can’t escape being known as a verb now.

Everyone knows the tool as godbolt.

Yep, it honestly never occurred to me that the name of the tool wasn't godbolt. I just went to the site and noticed "Compiler Explorer" for the first time, which seems so generic that I never thought of it as a name.

Interesting tool I've never used, for the uninitiated:

Interesting, but broken in Firefox. Could not get it to run and then I thought "maybe in Chrome..." and then got it to work.

What did you do to get it to work?

Opening in Chrome.

Yes, it is somehow also an awesome name for a tool.

That's my first impression, too, until I'm curious about what 'godbolt' means, and I googled it...
