Open Xyncgas opened 1 year ago
I guess it's a similar area as https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/1104 and (probably) https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/1079. Former was rejected, latter is still open.

Possible duplicate of #1026 and my comment there was:
contrary to Unicode identifier recommendations per Annex #31 and wouldn't add much value given the option to use backticks still exists
Edit: The new proposed update to Annex 31 may be adding an emoji identifier profile, which would remove the argument that it is against Unicode recommendations. However, I think compelling examples of computing tasks or domains that benefit from emoji identifiers would still be needed before considering whether adopting such a profile would provide enough value.
@Xyncgas isn't it better to build your own bridge? Why not make your own F# compiler with the changes you want? It's probably only 200 lines of code or so. ;)
I propose we support directly using emoji in variable names
The existing way of approaching this problem in F# is same as having space in variable names
There's no down side to this, nothing is going to break
The advantage of making this adjustment is ease of use
The disadvantages of making this adjustment is nothing
