Emojis in Development?

Emojis. Either you love them or you hate them. The internet has been split on this point for years. Especially in the developer community, the concept of emojis has been called a no-go for years.

However, this seems to be changing at the moment. More and more developers see the advantage of well as sociable emojis, especially in open source projects.

Especially projects like GitMoji are driving this trend.

Now that I've been able to follow a trend more and more often in GitHub projects, I'd like to know from you: Do you use emojis in your code, in Git or otherwise in the development process?

Most languages can now handle emojis.
I was trying to explore the BDD side of it
Ie. in Nim play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4qZY

Feel free to try emojicode πŸ˜‚

I do not use emojis in the code, can't find a reason for doing so.

In the project documentation it could be OK probably.

I don’t really like using emojis that much, so I don’t use them in any projects.
