I am not the most fervent fan of emojis in the world and for the most part I have gone through the last 20+ years with about 3-4 emojis that I use on a regular basis. But I know people who communicate wholly using them and while I am ok with folks using them in personal communications I dislike them immensely in professional communications (except for the occasional smiley face). However not everyone agrees with me and there have been books published<\/a> in the past using just Emoji’s and now there is a programming language that is written entirely in emoji. <\/p>\n

Emojicode<\/a>, which first appeared as a Github project back in 2016 has been around for a while now and has a fairly strong following in the tech world. I realize that I sound like one of the old men screaming ‘Get off my lawn’ but I really don’t understand why anyone would want to code in a language that uses emoji’s to define text as a serious programming language. As a joke it would be fun to learn but I can’t really imagine coming in to work one day and writing code using Emojocode for a work project. <\/p>\n

Here’s an example of the “Hello World” program written using Emojicode. <\/p>\n


\nHello World using Emojicode<\/center><\/p>\n

If you want to learn coding in Emojicode, you can check out their impressive documentation or do a Code Academy<\/a> course on the language. Emojicode is open-source, so you can also contribute to the development via their GitHub repository.<\/p>\n

Yes, learning new programming languages is cool, but I don’t think I will be spending the effort to learn Emojicode anytime in the near future.<\/p>\n
