Are there any changes? ;)

There are no changes. We've always had unicode support. We had some fun and created several silly configs :) (I work @ NGINX.)

Aww man you need to make these actually work! Would nginx accept a pull request? :D

April Fool's?

A real announcement (unicode support) in an April Fool's package (doing the announcement only mentioning emoji). LukeShu nailed it with their reply. :)

There's no real announcement. Check the date :)

Wait, is NGINX Plus a real thing or is that part of the joke too?

It's real. It's their commercial offering.

Sort of. The announcement is obviously silly, and April-Fools-y, but the changes in nginx aren't--what it's really about is Unicode in general, not emojis specifically.

Yes but...can I use emojis exactly like in the config? I want to drive my sysadmin crazy :)

You can, the configs were tested for fun. Go ahead and try them!

(I work at Nginx and Nick sits behind me)

Lol I'm just imagining trying to edit these configs in vim on a vt220 and crying.

Vim in a current terminal does indeed support entering unicode. I can even type it by value, see :help utf-8-typing
