Horrible. This seems way more difficult to learn, because the chosen symbols don&#x27;t always make sense. Why is &quot;let&quot; a cat and &quot;var&quot; a dog, for example?<p>And since probably more symbols are chosen arbitrarly, the Hello World example just seems impossible to understand, as long as you don&#x27;t memorize what the emojis mean. Is this really more intuitive than let x = &quot;Hello World&quot; ?<p>It would be fun if emojis were used for different purposes, maybe like &gt; let pigs = 2 (pig emoji)
