Fun With Python and Emoji
summary
Proposes using emoji as syntax and claims a workable pipeline: VS Code + Jupyter extension uses an IPython input transformer plus a regex emoji detector to map emojis through an emoji-to-text dictionary into runnable Python and SQL, avoiding compiler edits or AST changes. Demo handles DuckDB, pandas and Plotly and executes successfully, though complex emoji clusters inflate encoding (one glyph becomes 22 bytes). Community response tops 3,000 views and is largely negative, highlighting social not technical barriers.
