What's your opinion?

It is really very interesting and seems looking fun ! But, when emoji have some meaning and it is meaning full in coding.
Some men want to watch the world burn.
Imagine having to learn a new codebase full of cats and fruits, or work on a technical improvement task named "Refactor the π¦ component to use π©."
One thing is sure, though - the swears per minute ratio will drastically increase.
Using emotionally-centered communication to solve logical problems is never a good idea.
Definitely no.
If you want to wreak havoc, just go on and install Mimic. ThatΚΌs pure evil, and the βcorrectβ way to abuse Unicode. All of a sudden your code stops working, even though it looks OK. With Emojis, however, you canΚΌt really be sure; it either works or not. It either looks good, or your editor displays little squares (good luck debugging int β¬ = β¬ + β¬β¦)
So please, donΚΌt even think about it. Commit messages: maybe (although iΚΌm against it). Source code: definitely not.
Is this a bug I see?
struct π : π΄ { πΈ π π() { π₯ << "π" << π«; }; };
Shouldn't cherry print cherry, not watermelon?
struct π : π΄ { πΈ π π() { π₯ << "π" << π«; }; };
LOL! π
Edit: my emojis aren't the same as Hashnode's, which aren't the same as what's in the code. π©
While potentially amusing, it's a bad idea in real terms. They're slower to type; harder to read; they don't have a universal meaning (people use and name/describe them differently); they don't render the same (if at all) on every system; there's no guarantee code tools will work with emoji; etc...
This is really interesting.
I think, in programming cases it is more readable when with meaningful words than images/icons/ emojis. At least i was not able to process it faster when the code length is higher..
It is pure fun though..πππ
it's one way to obfuscate code ;D .... and some pictures say more than 100 words. But I tend to say we should remain english with a normal alphabet it is the common language.
Using a different alphabet or a local language just makes things more complicated in my opinion.
Although it looks fun ;D ....

You can visualize your expression using emojis. You can use emojis in commit messages but at source code? π
No, please no!
We already have many ways to get confused by seeing our own code. π¬
