Emoji version for different languages
gearskullguy opened this issue · comments
I would like to write Java, JavaScript, or PHP in Emojicode. This means I would like to take the normal syntax of these languages but swap out characters with Emoji. Has anyone considered this already?
From what I understand, this makes no sense really. Emojicode is not some kind of preprocessor, it’s a proper language. That’s like saying you want to write Java in Ruby or Python.
Emojicode, however, bears some resemblance to Java anyway.
What I meant was not a preprocessor nor like saying I want to write one language in another language.
What I meant was "to take the normal syntax of these languages but swap out characters with Emoji".
This probably means a fork of Emojicode isn't a possible or feasible way to do this, but I am just floating the idea (of what I quoted above).
OK I'll be straight with you: the comment is mainly just a joke suggestion. It literally means that likely each of these languages would be forked and emojis swapped out for special characters like brackets for airplanes or braces for turnips.
Hopefully my point is understood here now, and that someone got a good laugh. I'm now going to forget about this thread unless someone wants to add something interesting to this speculative joke.
