Gosh, this website is becoming reddit more and more everyday. YOU don't have a wikipedia entry. Are you also now classified as "whatever that is"? Of course not.

I would implore you to open your mind up to resources that aren't popular social media because that's where the real gold/value is in development/engineering.

> YOU don't have a wikipedia entry.

I'm not claiming to be "one of the absolutely most valuable and greatest tools available" though. (Well, maybe the "greatest tool" part ;-) And if someone else claimed that about me, I'd think that either there was something very wrong with them, or that one of my parents had started using alt accounts I didn't know about.

Considering some of the software tools that do have dedicated wikipedia pages and subreddits, and that I'd never heard of godbolt before, I don't think it's out of line to be skeptical of such a hyperbolic claim.

(For what it's worth, I suspect if you took a random poll of Hacker News commenters, at least 90% would know what godbolt is. In fact, until I saw this thread, I thought it was just something like the C language which _everyone_ knows exists - it certainly deserves to be - although of course every day there's a new lucky 10000.)
