It would be great to use some emojis in coding.

Imagine how much more readable it would be if you could break a loop with πŸ’€ or return true with πŸ‘. Or use ❓for ifs, or ↔️ for switch (the emoji didn't work for that one). Or use an emoji to represent a custom object?

Maybe the ECMA should get on that!

Edit: I guess you can use emojis for custom objects in js.

Edit 2: ➑ for console.log

You'd still be left with the brackets and braces though. It might make more sense in a whitespace-based language pike Python

I see your point. Personally, I like the brackets and braces, they help organize. Or maybe that's just what I'm used to.
