#2During 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.

I 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.

#6car and cdr emojis are very nice
Re: Emojilisp
#7A little too baroque. http://worrydream.com/AlligatorEggs/ has better regularity
Re: Emojilisp
#8But the cop emoji should be 'and' not 'or'! It's a guard, after all.

#9Why does it say the cdr of (list 1 2 3 4 5) is 5, instead of (2 3 4 5)?

#10I'm not sure why most languages don't allow arbitrary unicode as identifiers. It would be quite useful for math-oriented programming.
