During ILC 2014 in Montréal, someone presented the emotional lisp joke. It was a lisp where ( was replaced with (-: and ) was replaced with :-). At a second iteration of the joke, these were replaced with emoji.
I wonder if emojilisp was inspired by this joke.
- Slackwise 12y agoI think it's just something people will end up with when thinking about S-Expressions. I remember when I was considering using Vim's conceal[1] feature to replace the # in Clojure lambda reader macros, then I joked about replacing it with some nonsensical emoji instead. That evolved into "Why not write all of Lisp with Emoji?" and wrote some joke examples in a Hangout. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this would be amusing to make.
