Why does every Swift article use emojis in their code samples?
- ovao 9y agoI imagine because Swift famously touted the ability to use emojis as identifiers.
- jmull 9y agoReading these things makes me hungry. I think it’s because that’s the style of Apple’s own (excellent) Swift Programming Language book. I think it does look nicer than the traditional characters used in these kinds of things.
- proyb 9y agoEasy, our mobile devices screen width is limited. Emoji is the idea and it make learning not boring.
- drak0n1c 9y agoThe language supports emojis, and the point of example code is to be as concise and easy to understand as possible. Better than foobar.
