Love the joke in the URL. :)

(For anyone that doesn't get it; it's a play on Godbolt)



What is really funny about this is that Godbolt is the last name of the Compiler Explorer's author. But it seems like it is a brand, a word now.

Being able to swap two letters from a name and get something nice like this is lucky.

Godbolt is quite a name.


Not just any swap: it's mirroring - for the reverse direction.


It could be argued that Matt Godbolt is a good boy, further complicating the Dogbolt issue.


Thanks! We debated it some internally and I'm glad it won out, I think it's worth it. Plus, it has a nice logo that goes with it.
