Finally, the future is NOW - we can now communicate using combinations of pictograms and ideograms, potentially avoiding text as we knew it altogether, on many systems in a standardised way!

Unicode Brings Emojis

With an ever growing list, the Unicode Consortium, the international non-profit that governs unifying and standardising textual data, extends our ever-extensive world of text with many emojis with thousands upon thousands of additions.

Bring It On - to C++

C++ is finally reaching a tipping point of modernisation at the same time, what with supporting UTF8 directly in source code. Modern lexers can parse emojis. With this amazing new advent in technology, I have created a project for you at SquarePine that you may use freely: mapping emojis to C++ keywords.

Hopefully you can figure out how to write even less code and become an even more effective developer — it’s what you always dreamed of doing after all.
