A lot of programmers refer to the compiler explorer as Godbolt due to the domain name, such as saying "Godbolt link", "try it on Godbolt", etc. They do not realise that the domain name is Godbolt.org not because "Godbolt" is the name for the compiler explorer, but that the creator/maintainer's name is... Matthew Godbolt.

I personally found out the domain was named after the creator when I saw a CppCon talk about the explorer from him!
